Hey guys!
New member, just thought that I'd introduce myself, my name is Stan.
Been in love with BMW for many years now, my current BMW is now my 3rd one.
Went with a convertible this time, a 2005 325Ci, bought it back in 2008.
Still has relatively low miles for being 10 years old, only 67,777
Just put some $$$$ into it this week, several things were taken care of.................
Control arm bushings, alignment, leaking radiator and I anted up for a brand new set of Bridgestone Potenza RE760's.
Had the control arm bushings, alignment and radiator taken care of at Service First rather than the dealer, saved a couple of thousand dollars.
The dealer quote just about gave me a heart attack!
Just had the Potenzas put on yesterday at Bridegstone, I did not like the Yokohamas I went with last time so I made the switch.
Here are a few pics..................

I see that you guys had a rally in the Houston area today, wish I would have found your site sooner!
I'd love to come and hang out next time you have an event.
