Hello. I've been a member for a couple of years but never got around to the forums. I'm in Sunnyvale, CA, south of San Francisco. Have owned BMWs for a long while now. Currently own a 2000 528iT Touring with manual transmission, M sport package, CDV removed, modified M3 shifter, aftermarket hitch for carrying a bike rack. We also own a 1998 M Roadster. Fortunately my wife can also drive stick so both of us get to drive the cars . Arnab
