Another newbie just signed up

Post by Pope » Mon Feb 18, 2013 6:32 pm

Hello there peeps

Just found this place (well, directed here from the Bimmer forum).

Had a 98 635d for two years now, and i've also had an 05 X3 2.0d SE for 10 months, which i use for work,

Looking forward to joining in with you all, both absorbing and maybe imparting some tips and experience.

Cheers

Welcome Pope - good to see that you've got some decent motors to hoon around in at the end of the month when you retire.  :devil: or  O:-) ?

I've often fancied the idea of a 2nd hand 635d - they've quite a few examples at bigmotoringworld.co.uk - a lot of car for the money and I like the idea of a fast economical cruiser that the kids can comfortably sit in.

Hi and  :hi: (again) Pope.  I had a 630i for a year a little while back and really enjoyed the car, found it great for chilling.
