My wifes new car, Pre Bangle 3 series

Went to the dealership looking at 545's and came out with this.
She is a convertible kind of gal. 330Ci convertible with the performance package. (read: I kinda wanna look like an M3 ) Nice car, but I like my MINI still. (I like fixed roofs over my head )

I love the trunk- (or is it bumper-) mounted basketball option. She must enjoy shooting hoops while stopped at a long signal. Guess that's why she needs convertible.

Yeah, nice yard huh? We remodeled our house over the last year and I found out the last thing kitchen contractors or plastering contractors care about is your landscaping! Lawn first aid is under progress now, you should see the back yard!

Nice car! I almost bought a 2000 323ci 5 sp, but decided I couldn't give up a roadster for it. Nice cars...service is a bit pricey...but well engineered.


We are about up on a 540 i 6sp lease...Fantastic car, but I can't wait to end the payments and insurance (it sits most of the time)...30 MPG!!!! with an 8 cyl! The 3s are nice, but for some reason, don't get quite as good gas milage...the black is sooo pretty when clean...hope you don't have any dusty roads near you, though.

Ex-Bimmer person here....
