YAY! New car loan paid off. (pi'c too)
 

3 months/5days after I got it. "Zibigniew BMW" is free and clear!!!

I HATE being partners with a bank in anything! And the BMW dealer peddled the loan to the Bank of America. WITHOUT asking me... Guess they can do it.

Feels like a huge burden off my head. No mortgage on the house either.

I feel pretty lucky. Though I missed the chance for children; so I guess that is the tradeoff. Made this easier to occur:

Just back from a couple of weeks driving it up to Canada (Victoria).

Sometimes life gets really good!

Life is good !!! Enjoy it !!

What a fabulous prologue to what is quissentially to be the Book of Jim and the 535i.

You will probably be one on the BMW factory's books as a "frequent" driver, service departments amazed at the odo each time they service your 2013 car. "It must be a rental? Give it a bangjob oil change?....No....its an owner driven car..."

9k since May 25th, 3 months' time. Wow. Still a bit under your 40k yearly attestment, but still, go easy once in a while and drive your other special MB's to balance out. :D

Jim, I think you've met your mate, car-wise. ;)

Congratulations of the car AND the girlfriend! :) :cool:

Jim..you've done well in many arenas. Your automobile being the lessor of them, and your lady friend being the greater.

Congrats, my friend.

Nice Jim! I've got the same roof rack on the 1er, amazing that BMW part is cheaper than Thule and Yakima.

Kids vs. Shiny Things. I'll take the kids any day.
Congratulations anyhow.

Loans have been peddled all over all day long without our consent. I don't think they need our consent just to inform us as long as it is specified in the contract.

Still, the shiny thing and the girl and dog I'll take, the kids, I'll pass on if that is the choice.

Jim, if I had your money, I'd throw mine away.

Or if you're lucky you can have the kids, THEN the cars.;)
