New member But 4th BMW

[aab104]

Hello Everyone,

I am new to here, but have an E36 318ti, E39 525D & E46 320Ci which is the daily driver. The other two are both off the road currently.  Also previously had an E46 318i 8V.  A vehicle mechanic by trade with 35+ years experience, but try to keep my hands clean these days. Run a state of the art diesel remanufacturing site now.  Probably should not mention the "M" word (as in Mercedes) but the Company car is a C220CDI Sport and despite it being, in my opinion, a Grandad's car, I am actually quietly impressed with the power, handling and ride.  That being said, I would always own a BM by choice. I look at the from an engineering perspective and have always been impressed with them. Also have a Toyota RAV4 for fun and so I can actually get to work in the winter if it snows, a 6.5 V8 TD big block Chevy on a P30 chassis with a Winnebago coach on it and finally a Yaris which is the tow car for the Winnie. Oh yes, I also have (in many pieces) my 1974 Triumph Spitfire V 1500 which I have owned since 1983. So the male/car equivalent of a crazy cat lady!

Alan.
