Really? You guys got E36 Tourings? Cool. I think we got E34 Tourings here, but I'm not sure. I know we got E39s. A 528iT with a 5-speed would be a nice family car when we outgrow the E46, although I'm not sure how much larger the E39 actually is in practical terms. The E46 is okay for us now, but it is not a large car. When/if we add another child seat to it, it will be really aby Cab Treadway - Community Forum
Quotewodcutr Maybe we should get a dash out of a wrecked car for the VIN plate and buy a touring from up north, take the badges off the car, do the VIN swap and register it here! The DMV would never know and neither would the mechanic doing the inspection. Maybe a little deceitful, but when there is a will there is a way! AFAIK, the touring was never sold anywhere in North America. Any modelby Cab Treadway - Community Forum

Just saw a beautiful Touring driving north up I-93 in Mass, with NH plates (CHRLFT - must have been a skier). It was debadged, but I'm assuming it was a 325iT. It was also very clean, and simply gorgeous. I don't know where he got it, but I'm jealous!by Cab Treadway - Community Forum

Quotedaniel To add music to your ipod, you must tell it to sync with certain playlists, which you have to create. At least that is how mine works if I don't want it to take a random sampling from my whole library until the player fills up. Maybe iTunes plays better with XP compared to Vista? Like I said, it's been a long time since I actually moved songs on or off the iPod itself.by Cab Treadway - Community Forum
Quoterkj I know this is probably an oversimplification but anyway, I thought the major reason for all this financial trouble here and world wide was that a while back Fanny and Freddy handled all the house loans to fairly strict standards, then the banks took over and those standards went out the window and real greed took over, hence the collapse, or nearly so.

I'm not greedy by any means. If I can take home only, say, $10M (after taxes, of course), then you guys can have the rest. I should be able to almost fix up the E30 for that, then I'll be happy.by Cab Treadway - Community Forum
When I've run ice races with Boston Chapter, I have been on either my Blizzak WS-50s in the E30, or on Dunlop WinterSport M3s in the E46. The E46 XiT was horrible, no fun at all.

QuoteArcheo-peteriX I pretty much agree with you about all of that. However, I would draw the line at 'hate' literature which does make a call to violence.
