Hi everyone, After quite a number of cars over the years, from an SS396 Chevelle to a TR6 & quite a few others as well, I finally got my first BMW last year. She'a a Morea Gruen 318iC, with 150k mi on the clock. I wasn't in the market for another car, & am usually selling at 100k+ mi - not buying, but she caught my eye & after driving her & having her checked out - I had to have her. I have a soft spot for ragtops anyways . . . . I wasn't sure about the 4 pot motor as I know BMW is known for the straight 6, but with this being the DOHC version & a 5 speed, I thought I'd give it a go. With Premium now over $4.00 per gallon here I'm glad I did, she's pretty peppy & fun to drive. Anyways . . . . Best, everyone
