Whew! What a journey! Started off on Jun 13. Drove my 04 330Ci to Miami for some work...something goes wrong with the car.

Then I get on the plane to fly to Munich. I focking puke on the plane before while we were taxi'ing...to TAKE OFF!:barf: I think I had a bad Sam Adams before I boarded. First time ever and I was shocked considering some of the hellish military flights I've been on. Including one on a C-130 that was like a 4hour long roller coaster ride.

So I get to Munich...

I fly back and guess what? These two nice older ladies were like, "Weren't you the guy who threw up on the plane a week ago?".:( Never a dull day.

...then an 42 day wait and a flight from TX to SC...

After an awesome romp around the PCD track...here it is in front of the Zentrum.

BIGJAE, congrats. That is one awesome experience
:lol: at your sons comment: not a helmet but a haircut. Reminds of how my nephew's hair was when he was your son's age: same exact haircut.
I am surprised old ladies with good memory. Most of them forget where they placed their dentures.

No problem! Awesome working with you! I would give you more business but I am fresh out of car money right now.

I am spreading the word about you guys in the local area.
thank you very much we all at steve thomas really appreciate it! If you ever need anything else in the future just let me know and ill make sure you get taken care of :)
:bulge: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: WHOA!!!! mcb e90, congrats!! :love: :bow:
Congrats!! I'm pretty sure I saw your car sitting there when I was at the performance center a week ago. With the MCB and the fact that owning an E92 I 'forgot' they made 4 door M3's I thought it was the new M5.
Beautiful color. I really like the "spareness" of your options list too.

Enjoy!
Proportions of the E90 are better than E92 IMO. That color is stunning on the 18s. Congrats!
:cool!:

Interesting, the guy that bought my 335i from Czech sent me these photos:

Looks like he took the photos at around the same location......
