So i have had many rangers in the past 3 or so years... well i decided to get into something different.. i looked at the wrx sti and a couple of bmw's, let me tell ya the bmw is made way better and rides sooooo much better, so this in the pic is my new 04' 330 xi awd, does super on these snowy roads... i'll get way better pics later.... My first car ever owned,, hope i like it.. lol

 

Traitor!! lol...nice car!

 

Damn! Nice car hope you enjoy it.

 

Very nice car. Buddy of mine had one not too long ago. Great car before he rolled it.

 

for phuk sake lol nice car man, we can make it my parking brake at the spring meet!

 

E46! Love it. How's that AWD system? I never heard too much about it before BMW did its "X-Drive" system.

 

Have fun working on that!

 

X2! Great cars though, my dad has had two BMWs and swears by them. Really safe in collisions and fast too. I actually almost got a 330ci instead of the ranger. On a side note, anyone look under a newer BMW? Looking under my dad's 08 535i it looks like a matchbox car, all flat plastic covering just about everything. They really want you to take those cars to the dealer.

 

That's why I said have fun. Haven't touched one recently but don't they have a plastic "panel" you have to remove to drain the oil and change the oil filter now?

They are nice cars, just a PITA to work on.

 

yeah have fun with maintenance. my mom drives an 05 X5 with the 4.6. amazing vehicle. but when something goes wrong. its not cheap. needed a new guage cluster. 1200. transfer case went out for the AWD system, 3500. and some random other things as well. all the good **** happened to it AFTER the warranty went away lol.

either way, nice car. bimmers are nice solid cars that USUALLY take care of you if you take care of them. lol

 

e36 for life!!
haha nice e46 though! definitely like those headlights more than the 1999-2001's

 

Yeah I know on the newer ones you have to trust the computers oil measurements because they have no manual dipstick.

 

LOL,, thanks guys.. And ya the awd system is amazing on these ohio roads, and i know about the maintenance costs.. all i need is a bmw forum for all mechanical needs and i should be able to work on it just as easy as the ranger.. haha
