I’ve successfully repaired all the rust , although I can’t quite figure out why the VIN now begins with a W.

In all seriousness, this is my “new” 2006 325i and as German cars are, it comes with a whole list of options and specs. 6-speed manual, Arctic Metallic, Titanium trim, Sport package, Xenons, Moonroof, Bluetooth, Logic7 audio system, Heated seats, Ski bag, etc.

It was actually quite well-maintained by the previous owner and all of the typical N52 issues have been addressed. Now all it needs are  two bulbs and some light coding and it should pass inspection nicely.

Very nice!

Also, what is a Princess Auto? Where is that located?

Princess Auto is like a Canadian Harbour Freight.

Cool, so you sold the G35 then, did you?

Nice pick up, didn’t really like the E90 when it came out, but I think it’s aged well. The LCI is what changed my opinion on it, but I’m starting to like the original design now.

I see. I don’t remember seeing one of those when I was in Halifax. I did go to Canadian Tire, though. What an experience!

Haha! The closest Princess Auto to Halifax is actually across the water in Dartm outh Crossing, Dartmouth if memory serves...weirdly, I’ve never been to Princess Auto!

I actually don’t mind Canadian Tire! We have a decent one near me in Bridgewater. Pretty much anything you’d ever need there. Some of their house-brand stuff isn’t the greatest, but it always seems to do the job so far for me!

Indeed, the G35 is gone. I don’t have the parking for two cars anyway.

Thanks! I ’ve wanted one of these ever since GT4 came out and pricing was just right for me to finally  pull the trigger.

Ah, was there a reason you replaced it? Personally, I’d rather the G35, if nothing else for the fact that I imagine maintenance/repair costs on it would be far less if something does go wrong with the BMW...

You would be incredibly surprised. Aside from oil changes, nearly everything is cheaper for the BMW, although it will require maintenance more often. Also, E90s don’t rust like G35s do and the G35 seats hurt my back.
