I bought a 2002ti for under $2400 new, back when it was new. It's about
what it was worth, then...and now. All the high-end German family cars I
have looked at in recent years seem grossly overpriced and overly
complicated. You have to work pretty hard to find a mid-range vehicle that
offers more than the Japanese offer these days. Of course, if you have a
really short dick and are in desperate need of making sure people "notice*
you when you pull into the supermarket parking lot, a nice "7" series BMW
will do, for the two people in the parking lot who give a crap anymore
about that sort of stuff.

No offense to any current, past or future "overdone" BMW owners, of
course. :)



I briefly owned an '01 BMW 750iL. Black on black, no chrome, thick,
bullet resistant, dark tinted glass, 12 cylinder. The car was absolutely a
dream to drive anywhere long distance, like to Florida and back, but
otherwise I rarely drove it.

I can honestly say I didn't buy it to be "noticed". I bought it because I
liked it. So, no offense taken.

Mrs.E. also briefly owned an '06 version of the 750iL. Not anywhere as
nice as the '01. It also had the infamous BMW "I-Drive" system that drove
both of us nuts. What were they thinking?

I've pretty much gone full circle with automobiles. Other than the Porsche,
which still does not cease to amaze me, there really isn't any car out
there, new or old, that captures my interest. My little Ranger truck does
the job fine.

Even losing interest in the GTO and the old Ford convertible Galaxie.

That BMW email recommended "techron" as a fuel additive. To the best of
my knowledge, Chevron is the only brand of gasoline that is advertised to
contain techron.

Nope. But, we don't have any BMW's anymore.

I have owned two BMW's. One cost three hundred, the other seven
hundred.

In monthly repair bills? Seriously, I have been leasing for years now
so I can avoid those problems and if something does need repair, it's
covered and I have a free loaner while it's in the shop.


The sixty-six only cost 2500 new.

66? The E66 is a 7-series from early 2000. What are you talking about?

Wrong, Pilgrim.

I didn't "learn" anything. The material things I own or have owned were
purchased because they interested me and I enjoyed them. Some still
interest me. Some have served their time.

I like trying different things. Keeps life interesting.

One day you may learn, although I think you already have but will not
admit.

Carry on Grasshopper.

Why do I always sense of feeling of jealousy you have concerning
Eisboch's and Wayne's financial success? You love to talk about your
"heritage knives" and John Deere lawn mower, but resent it when someone
else is more successful.

Grasshopper, I think you have a lot to learn. To start with read the
bible, they say something about coveting your neighbors goods.
