Just hit 100K

So I am driving home from the local Farmers Market this morning and my 2 1/2 yr old in the back seat points at the head unit and shouts "Dad...your car says all zero's". Kid doesn't miss a trick!!! I new I was close but had forgotten to keep an eye on it to catch the milestone. I pulled over and snapped a quick shot with my iPhone. Then as I pulled back onto the road he says, " Dad drives very fast. He's going to get five tickets". That one must have been coached by my wife LOL.

Kids...

Side note: this was the most fun I have ever had driving 100K. This car stlll amazes every time I get behind the wheel.

That's about 62000 US miles. I can't wait to see mine at 100000 miles.

Nice to know! The 5.5 V8 is proving to be pretty reliable. I guess I have a bit to go with only 11,200 KMs...

Thinking about it. I have to talk my wife out of her 330i and in to C55 to make it work. Otherwise she's gone (the car not my wife)
