Farewell fellow C's

I have turned to the dark side. My 2003 525i Touring M-Sport will be here from Japan in a few weeks.

Thanks to everyone who helped me and to those who didn't... I hope you feel guilty

I plan to be back amongst the W203's in a few months once I've sold the German abomination

Good luck....funny stuff. Unless you're on a closed course it really doesn't matter if it's a MB or a BMW or a Volvo station wagon. Not many people can ring out the full potential of the car they drive.

Congrats, at least you got a nice car. I was expecting another one of those threads where the guy went from a Benz to a Nissan. Enjoy the Bimmer.
