Coming into the third month of ownership with a few fixes already (door handle carrier, tail light solder). Heading out soon to see what the noise in the rear suspension is all about.

This is my first German car and the first car in a long time (not since my first) that I've enjoyed driving it, AND fixing it. Hopefully the small stuff stays small and I can continue to enjoy the V8 goodness for many years.
