[Houston Imola 4.6is]

Howdy Y'all... just bought our my first BMW for the Wife to drive... Imola 4.6is... should get it in a week or so. Looking forward to it... It was our compromise. I wanted a '02-'03 M5, she didn't want a sedan. We have a new baby (our second) coming in 1 month so the M3 wouldn't be so practical, although we now have a 2 year old that has spent some time in the back of her RX-8. Needed something a smidge bigger and spotted the 4.6 in the lot while we were re-examining M3s. Didn’t really think she would have gone for a 4-door, but apparently SUVs (SAVs) didn’t count. She immediately was drawn to the color and the look. I have always loved the look, but we already had one SUV so we didn’t consider another… until we drove it.

I have always had a BMW on my next buy list, just took a little longer to get one than I thought it would. Have been around them most of my driving career. My best friend had multiple classic 2002s in highschool, inluding one tii with IMSA flares. His Dad collected cars and had M5s, M technique 3s, 5s & 7 series and a mint M1 (I think it had a Group 4 motor in it). We would take out his cars on the weekends instead of going to the same old parties. Not too many people can say they have gone 160 in a M1 on Woodward Ave outside Detroit... Since then I knew I would eventually get a BMW.
Anyways...



This site looks great. I have a ’95 Toyota Land Cruiser and frequent ih8mud.com for all needs, mods to fixes. Haven’t come across a site as helpful until I started looking for X5 sites. This one is great as well and look forward to a long relationship.
