My first BMW

C4.. you might want to take a peek at your timing chain guides, m62's usually need some attention in that area around 150k and since you'll already be digging around in there. might be worth a look

Congrats!
We/I need a pic of your '89 C4 Vert!

Welcome!

You sound like the right kind of person to own a bimmer. I cringe at people who buy used bimmers out of warranty and then take them to the shop for everything. They won't be happy. There incredible cars to drive easy to wrench on but parts aren't the cheapest and shops get hung up on the roundel. They certainly have their qwerks although as of now (knock on wood) my 4 months of x5 ownership have been very smooth.

If you like nice things and working on your own cars BMW's are awesome!!

You say that now, this may be your first BMW, but it may also be your last, after you get beaten down with one thing breaking after another...lol!

Here is my 89 Corvette convertible. 63k

As a Walmart greeter I could help you a lot with how you welcome new owners.

Things break and get fixed. I deal with it on a daily basis in my job as a maintenance supervisor

Nice C4! I see you have the removable hard top...
Here is my '02 C5 Vert. ~56,000 miles. 6 spd, Z51, Borlas, etc., in the driveway of our Mtn house.

Yes my wife loves the hardtop. I really like your C5.
