New BMW in the house! (Time to update the sig)

Please extend a warm welcome to Mrs. Driver8, who, after years of Audi and Honda ownership, last night joined the esteemed ranks of BMW owners.

She purchased a lightly-used CPO 325i sedan, Schwartz 2 black over black, manual box w/ Sport, Premium, Cold Weather and Xenons. The car is in excellent condition. We were going to trade her Civic Si for it, but 1) the trade value they offered us was not the greatest, and 2) I saved over $2k by buying it straight out (and as a result, I am considerably under retail on it). I'll eBay the Civic and pocket a bill or two, and I offered the perfect 18" aftermarket wheels w/ new tires to my BMW service advisor for his new Si for an even swap for his OEM wheels and tires. I'm happy. She's happy. He's happy. Everybody's happy. All in all, a win/win/win.

I'll try to get some pictures over the weekend. (Heck, I still need to post some pics of my Sterling X5 with the stunning 20" Style 132 reps I installed earlier in the month.)

Let the detailing begin!

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
Good luck with 325.

What are the details on the Honda, maybe another member is interested.

That is if you think the Honda is in good shape?

Congrats on the 325 - sounds like a sweet deal and a great color combo! And yes - looking forward to the pics as well, but even more forward to the pics of your 20" 132s!!!

About the Si. . .

Congrats on the new sweet ride. About the Civic Si. . .I sold my 2000 Electron Blue, 105K Miles, like new condition (only the CAI upgraded) on Autotrader.com in two weeks for $8800. The first kid that looked at it, bought it. I got about 5 calls, which I was surprised about (low), but as soon as someone saw it I had an offer. The Si is a great, great car for anyone on a small budget or a teenager/college student. Hold out for the money you want for it--I only came down $200. Pic attached. Good luck.
