On my one and only activity with the local bmw club 10 years ago they didn't even know it was a bmw.

Noticed last week that we had rolled 10k miles on the coupe since substantial completion on 05/26/23. With The trip from Monterey, California up the west coast up until we had the fire and then the drive back to Texas after Don repaired it we added a lot of miles. We just returned from a 2700 mile eleven day trip to the Vintage a few days spent in Asheville, NC and a Stop in Nashville on the way…

This is how it's done, folks!

Well we rolled past another 1000 miles on the coupe, 14k miles since finishing refreshing…

Well rolled past another 1000 miles on the coupe today, I really enjoy the way the 3.5 big six pulls after driving one of our 2002s for the most part…
