Car Info: 2001, 330i, Stahl Blue

How long owned: 2wks

Factory Options: Sport package and nothing else.

Modifications: None at this time, planning for upgrading the brake pads, use of stainless steel brake lines, CAI and maybe a better exhaust system. Right now it is our main car to drive around town and for long distance trips. As much as I love my 2000 Z3-2.8 and it's track car performance, it is much easier to drive our new used 330i.

Oh yea, we purchased our CPO at BMW Center, here in San Antonio. So if you drop in to buy a CPO or just for parts, stop and say HOWDY to Robert Carver, he is the one in the photo with Cindy. Now Cindy and I can say we are a BMW loving family. :)
