    Nice. For the price, I'd have picked it up too!

    Here it is: Needs some clean up. Headlights are HID, but the headlight covers look like crap. Front bumper is torn and cracked in 2 places close to the ground (from running into a curb or parking barrier, i'm sure). Some minor dents and scrapes, and the interior is pretty beat up, but mechanically it all looks and runs great.

    2003 BMW 525i (automatic, not manual ) 117,500 miles.




    Because it was a luxury car back in it's day, it has all sorts of neat "luxury" features that mostly still work and it's pretty comfortable to drive/ride in. If I can get 4 years and another 80,000 miles out of it, I'll be very happy.

    Tell me about (broken) cupholders, and broken hazard relay switches, and broken turn signal stalk, and broken trunk release button, and broken sun visor clips, and broken window lockout button, and just about every other piece of hard plastic bits that fall apart on Euro luxo-sedans. I love driving my 2003 A6 (with replacement turbos and a rebuilt TC) but the maintenance on these things can kill you.

    Only 88K miles and garaged 99.99% of the time.

    Truly is a love/hate relationship.

    I've brought this up before. My 2004.5 RAM sits outside 24x7 and doesn't fall apart.

    Fast 5 is on USA, I'm a fan of Vin Diesel, but I'm sorry, Dwayne Johnson would destroy him in that fight scene.

    Seen only 1 of that F&F franchise. The last one Furious 7? IMO it's as if the writers of The Expendables said
    Hey Lets make another Expendables movie. Only do a serious action/drama one

    No matter how hard they tried. All i saw was a parody trying to take itself seriously.
