As promised... from March... Pics!
So back in March I came in here, introduced myself, and told you all about my new purchase, a Fire Opal 2004 C32. I LOVE this car! Prior to the C32, I had a 330Ci ZHP which was the most unreliable car I've ever owned, and my last was a 2002 540i M-Sport. The BMW's cost me about $6,500-$7,500 per year to keep in decent shape... and I work at the BMW dealer here in town so that's my cost! I have owned a handful of Mercedes' before this one, and I've always like their reliability when compared to BMW's. If you keep them maintained they don't seem to leave you 20 miles from home on the side of the road! Anyways, I've been very busy since getting the car and now have time to post up some pics taken by Stu Wood, one of the guys I work with that does photography in his spare time. I've also been trolling silently in this forum and would like to thank everyone for all the great info on here in regards to maintenance and mods!

Back when internet forums were just getting going, or was it when I just got the internet... I can't remember. I had a 1984 BMW 633CSi (E24) and while it was a good car, coming over to German cars from growing up in Mustangs was a hard lesson learned with that vehicle. You can still drive a broken Mustang, a broken BMW not so much. LOL! Now I understand proper maintenance!

Thanks!
I bought the badges from Alex Jones. Drop him an email and see if he has any left. He was awesome to deal with and they are really good quality pieces!

Hey, congratulations with your car, and welcome.
And don't you just love the color? It really stands out
Been trying to take some pictures of mine to show off the deep red color, but they always end up pink

if you keep them maintained they don't leave you 20 miles from home on the side ...because they leave you 10 miles from home on the side when the throttle position sensor decides to take a dump. LOL
