TIME TO SAY GOODBYE!!!

Well....it's been a good 10 year partnership but every good thing must end....

This baby is on sale now!!

My tip top condition BMW dream car!!

A little history about this machine......

I had this obsession with BMWs when growing up and promised myself that "ONE DAY", I will own one.

With my sailing career doing well and the USDs rolling in, I decided to get my Beemer in 2000. The Millinium Beemer!! The idea was to get a second-hand unit but the interest rates were terrible while a new 2000 model E46 had 4.25% (And this was great in those days!!) financing. Price tag on the new E46.....a whooping RM 206,000!! (But only USD 54,200 la........that's what I said!!)

And in August 2000, I drove this baby out of the Auto Bavaria showroom. At age 28, it was the ultimate party machine........

For 6 months of every year from 2000 - 2005, it was my dads "pasar malam" and "around the town" car. (While I was away.) When I was back on holidays, it was my "clubbing" car!! It only did 30,000 kms in those 5 years!!!

It also spent a lot of time parked outside "Broadwalk" pub in Phileo Damansara!!!!

For the next 5 year, when I started working in KL, it was the daily commute from Klang to KL that raked up the miles......an additional 150,000 kms.

It was our wedding car 2007 and the car that brought Maya home from the hospital in 2008.

Now, in 2010,..... the babyseat just doesn't go with the 17" M3 sports rims, the rims won't handle the bumpy potholed roads of Dutamas/Solaris and eventually.....the space won't fit the "additional" family member expected in 2011!!

My honest opinion........it looks and rides better than it ever did but.....sadly......

All sentimental value aside, this machine will have to make way for something bigger and stronger........

So.......coming soon:

Hahahaha!!!!
