Great to hear your initial impressions, AJ! As I think I said, there was a space gray E92 at Sterling when I got my oil changed, and it was very pretty.

Those cars look terrific in person.

If you have seller's remorse, its cool. Just wanted you to know that

...I do agree they are very nice.

Congrats, can't wait to see pics...

It might be a few days until pics come. I have a review session after school tomorrow (get home late), and Im picking up my old man from the airport after work Friday to head up to PA for the weekend.

Im going to get some pics sometime soon. Now that the car is here (and still with summer tires), I hope there isnt much in the way of snow coming up...

WxSquid · 02-07-2007, 08:03 PM

Well, not much snow here - and what snow might be coming is of the kind you won't take the Bimmer out- someone who can't drive in snow (but think they can) will most likely prove that point with your car.

As for the summer tires, I haven't had an issue yet, but I was out of state for the one decent snow y'all had. I went through the mountains south of Pittsburgh as the spigot was turned on for the lake effect snows and no issues (with plowed roads).

Although, with the roads here I now have a two-tone Jet Black / Sparkling Graphite 335....

I was able to get around while driving today. By the time I left the dealership (after being there for 3 hours... long story), there was almost no snow, or even moisture, on the roads...

Thats what I love about VA. It will snow, but it wont stay around for long. I need it long enough just to get off from work.

Speaking of which... 1 hour delay at work tomorrow

Just a bunch of enthusiasts taking over parking lots in MD and VA to run cars. A lot more laid back then the SCCA events, although a lot of the guys run that too. You can join or pay as you go. I'm a member.

I think all of the DC Metro crew should join

a friend of mine has done this with his A6 and it sounds very casual and a lot of fun. he said he might go to one with his chiropractor who drives a 335 (maybe thats one of you all?). anyways, we should pick one to all go to.

Target is a few minutes up the street....I'll even give you a friendly DC Metro wave from my balcony

But seriously, save that mod for when we get together. AJ is pretty handy with the mods.

spark227 · 02-08-2007, 08:48 AM

Is there a group drive planned for this Saturday still? Doesn't have to be wine country, but I am itching to go anywhere with twisty roads.
