Hello again everybody.

Hi everyone,
Its been while since I have been on the board. But, I'm back on with questions again. Getting ready to graduate and still leaning towards getting another BMW. I know I know, I just love the the stick shift.
Whats new with everyone here?

Close... I had a Camaro fuel pump in my 528e. That car has long passed. You've got a pretty good memory! Whats new with you?

You know, 240Ds with the stick shift are pretty common. Or if you're interested in something that will get out of its own way, they made some 190D and 190E models with the stick. I think there was a 280E stick option in the U.S. for a couple years.

M5 is a mighty slick car.

Yeah, I could use a lifting partner. I've put off cardio (at least seriously) for a few years. Time to do something about that now.
