My Last Car!
Well, I did it again. There are few reasons why I just couldn't stay in the 135i convert. Let's just say this '07 328i Black Mamba combines virtually all the features I liked about the other Bimmers I owned for a lot less per month.
It has a chocolate brown (love chocolate) interior, 17 inch wheels, Sport and Premium packages and Steptronic tranny. That's it. Not a lot of other stuff. Soon the windows will be tinted, XM radio added and xenon headlight bulbs installed.
It goes 100 mph just fine, thank you. It is very comfortable on longer rides and rides a helluva lot quieter and smoother than the 135i. It is a Certified Pre-Owned car so it has a great warranty.
I am sure I will be driving this beauty for a long time.....now, just got to keep it clean!

ToeOut Drive January 17, 2009 to Cold Springs Tavern
From ToeOut Performance Systems:
We are going to do a drive starting in Santa Maria and ending at Cold Springs Tavern above Santa Barbara. We’ll tour some great backroads in between. We’ll meet at Starbucks on Betteravia and 101 near the Toyota dealer rain or shine. Hope to see you there!
(Note: I am hoping the meet time will follow-FC)
