That's for adaptive cruise control.

I wish brah'. When I get close they all say you've been there and done that. No hope for me.

Now here in Jo'burg, South Africa it's a different story, I just show them a pic of my car and it's, you know, all good.

Dude, you are 50 and still need to show pics of a used 330i to impress the chics? There is just something not right with that pic (no pun intended). Please don't tell me you are one of those that love to hang around high schools trying to impress the girls.

wow, what a beaut!

[tman]

Errr, no. It was a joke dude. And your last sentence is not funny at all. I have nothing to say on it.

It was also a joke, buddy. Don't get all sensitive on us now.

Enjoy your ride, brother! It's a beauty... :-)

Yeah. Sorry. I spent a week in Nigeria earlier this month and the whole kidnapped girls thing got me all wound up!

M-Tech perforated steering wheel with M colored stitching installed.

I was expecting something maybe tan on the outside and red on the inside (and a lot fuzzier), but nice find. Good looking car!

...and good call on the steering wheel. You don't see the M-Tech wheel with tri-color stitching very often.

[mmm def]

Cute story-nice car!

[Joseph@x-ph.com]

Congrats !! it's nice that you're taking care of her now

[techietaichi]

Fine work man. Another Bimmer saved!
