any original owners on here?

I'm curious - any "original" owners on the forums? So many cars here, but how many owned it from brand new?

My father has a prestine, never modified and low mileage 06 that he bought brand new. It's given him no issues in 9 years. It was the main reason I bought mine

Me as well.. Original owner. Went to trade her in years ago for w21263 and didn't really like the car as much so I kept her. Started modding and here we are today. 57k on the clock. Been looking seriously at the new bi-turbo's however.. May pull the trigger next year. I still love her..

Would have thought there were more original owners. Ordered and owned mine and haven't stopped smiling from day one. Pretty bulletproof! 51K miles.

Ordered mine in January 2005 and received it a couple of months later. It is still as stock and unmolested as the day I picked it up.
