Hi, I'm a 20 year BMW CCA member but have never visited the US! Based in Southern England, i have had a 2002 for 21 years and love it to bits. I blame the Hack Mechanic for the Z3 MCoupe that turned up in January. That's what I tell my wife, anyway. I owe most of what I know about BMWs to Rob and to Mike Miller. Look forward to sharing posts with others Tim
