*** NEWS FLASH ***

I bought another BMW.  Yes, another convertible also.  Yes, I know I live in Seattle and it rains 9 months of the year.  But when it's nice, there isn't a better place to be in a drop top.

It's a 1997 318iC with 127,000 on the clock.  5 speed transmission. All the normal accessories like A/C, power everything.  Nice stereo with a iPod plugin. Almost no flaws on it anywhere.  A couple of things that needed to be fixed like backup lights didn't work (fuse), fog lights didn't work (fuse again) and the SRS airbag light came on.  That was a dirty switch in the driver's belt buckle.  So now everything works except that flashlight in the glove box and I'll get around to that soon.

Here's a few photos I took last weekend. Click on the thumbnail for a full size picture.

 

New BMW 1 series is about to launch in the U.S.

The new BMW 1 series is coming soon.  They are at the dealers now.  I went to my local BMW candy  store to check them out.  Very nice is what I can say about them.  Much nicer than I had thought they would be.  And much more powerful.  I thought they were going to be entry level cars, but no way.  These cars can hold their own with any import on the road.  And quite a few older BMWs also.

Visit the BMW website to see all that this little monster has to offer.  Or better yet, go to the dealer and check them out yourself.
