My taxpayer money funded part of that ring, right? I should get a wedding invite at the very least.

Kidding, that's pretty awesome. I guess there go several upgrades to the 335i.

We consistently deliver our product for 50-100 million dollars under budget, so were doing our best to not fleece the taxpayers.

It wasn't as pricey as it sounds. The rock itself is mid-grade quality/clarity. The platinum band came from old jewelry from deceased relatives. Saved a bit of money there.

We have it pretty easy: no kids and no student loans. Kids...ugh....is that the next hurdle?

Only if you want it to be. Might be a good discussion before signing the papers.

I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one re-using jewelry.

Wherever the British roam, discussions (and mockery) of Marmite ensues.

Glad that your 'Marmite App' which alerts you to any internet mention of the awful stuff is still working.

How hard is that to accomplish when it only means leaving out four toilet seats?

Well I figured that despite my shy nature, it was time I introduce myself here. I will admit, I'm in that age-group of "lawn-mowing, possibly boneheaded and irritating young new e90 owners", but I don't think I'm too boneheaded or irritating and I don't mow lawns (although I do work), so hopefully there's a place for me here.

Gotta say, this place is pretty awesome and I've been lurking around for a good month. You guys proved very helpful when I needed to replace my upper windshield trim after getting the car. I was quite proud of myself for getting that done perfectly on my own, and for such little money. This BMW is the first car I can truly call my own and each day I'm just kind of amazed at what a beautiful experience it is. I take such pride in it. My neighbors probably think I've gone off the deep end when they see me scrubbing my ride in the rain.

In fact, just gave her a nice bath today.




The paint never ceases to amaze me. I feel like I've got a grey chameleon of sorts on my hands. Today was the first really sunny day we had in awhile and I was shocked at the sparkles and tones that were brought out.

Anyways, nice to be here! Hope to become an active member of the community.

Can't wait to get my hands on the new ///M-Sport. Am debating on whether or not to upgrade to the 5 Series though. Waiting more than half a year to get my hands on the F30 is trying my patience already and it's only October.

All the photos of the 'live' F30 ///M335i are here:

Are you suggesting that Ben is like the guy who came running up the dock in Southampton, out of breath and waving his ticket, yelling that he almost missed the Titanic?
You're cold, man.

Dang it, I mow the lawn. Can I stay? Is it unacceptable to do manual labor from time to time? (I trimmed hedges last weekend. )

It doesn't matter now, the damage is done...

Oh lord, what have I started... I was going based off what someone was saying/ranting about a week ago, but I guess that didn't go so smooth.

Haha well, thanks for the welcome.

I thought mowing the lawn was an euphemism for trimming one's nether regions... ??

Nice looking re-badged Toyota.

You know, for a 16 year-old working his first job to pay for this car, I'd say it's not so bad.

No worries. You know what they say about opinions...

Everything is a rebadged Toyota, especially the LFA. Don't ever buy one of those P.O.S.'s.
