I will miss it, and yes ill cry.
 

This was my very first car. I loved it it became a really good friend. Of course there were times when things didnt go so well, Alternator, Transfailsafe mode, Air Suspension bag problem, broken taillights, Powesteering, Numerous window regulators, door handle carrier, Oil leaks, A few flats and curb rash (Thanks to Non Родные Style 87s which i think were cursed), Steering coupling, and a few other things.
But it has tought me so much about cars and confirmed that BMW is one of my favorite brands ever. One of the biggest things it did was help me get a Job at the Best European Repair shop in the city which to this day i still work there at any moment i have free time.
Had lots of great moments in it, too many to list them all.

I WILL cry when its gonna go (not afraid to admit it), i wanted to keep it for a long time maybe give it to my kids but im no Олигарх so i need money for the next thing. Which is going to be something along these lines i really do hope:

The first day with the car, when uncle came to visit, we picked it up:
It was either this or a manual same color green 330i E46. This was way better.

I feel and know your pain all too well. Good luck with your next ride! :thumbup:

nice scrapbook Artyom... i am sure we will see you in another bimmer rather sooner, than later: once you drive a BMW, you will not want to drive anything else... and you were corrupted early on in your life!!!

Nice set of pics! :thumbup:
Ask Scott & Liz to give you a raise, so you can cop an M car... ;)
Maybe I will see you at GMW when I get back to the Mtn in spring.
GL, mD

GL with your next choice.
That E39 M5 interior looks great.

your uncle is so Euro!


good luck with your next ride man!

i know the feeling when you have to part with your bimmer... but as someone said on here, once you drive one, you will always want to get a another one... and when you do, its an awesome feeling driving around in a bimmer again... especially if it's an M5. good luck with your search

Great collection of pictures, i like the one with a Бумер cd - classic! :thumbup:

I bet you drove more than one mile around with Серёга (the name of the singer) blasting Чёрный Бумер, Чёрный Бумер (Black Bimmer, Black Bimmer)!!!

I know - I am twice your age and I've done that for sure... The feeling was surreal, especially doing that in Moscow, on Тверская (name of one of main streets in Moscow) - girls were all yours!!!! hahahaha

BMW thats for sure! :thumbup: My criteara is BMW.BLACK*.MANUAL**.Not a 3series.
*Or 3 certain shades of blue.
**SMG only to 1 car
I basically am stopping on the e39 M5, its in the price range, just gotta find the right one. Listing The X on Craigslist this weekend, really dont want to do craigslist but oh well.

It was European owned all its life, A Romanian and a Russia haha.

I cant figure out Miltiquote on this forum so sorry to everyone for many different replies

Hahahah YES! i have! But thats mostly the reason i want a Black one now hahaha you got me.

Also the Sergei Shurnov Ya Svoboden was even more awesome right after watching the movie

Edit: before i finished reading i just saw "Серёга" and was like Dang hes good how did he know my uncles name!
