Hello from sunny South Africa

Post by spidey » Thu Apr 21, 2011 7:46 pm

Hi All

Been browsing the site for a while for and decided to sign up now that I have finally taken the plunge :thumbsup: - I took delivery of a 2005 AW 3.0d today :D . It took a while for me to find the right car but it has been well worth the wait. She is a Sport pack and comes with Sat Nav, DVD, B/tooth, electric Sports seats - basically all the bells and whistles. This is not my first BMW - I haved been the proud owner of 2 x E30's (1 x 320i and a 325i), and e36, 320i, a e34 540i, an e46 320d, e46 325i, and an e90 325i.

Being the Easter weekend, I leave tomorrow for a game lodge about 2 hours outside Johannesburg, so I'll get the chance to take her out onto the open road :driving: .

I have attached a few pics (hopefully I got it right) - Let me know what you think

Very nice. Most of the white ones in the UK tend to have blue lights and a pair of coppers in em - frequently a firearms support team.

I rather like white except it shows the dirt to soon, but t'other half hates white!!
:ant: Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.
