8 YEARS and still running strong

[3ZHPGUY]

Tuesday, the eve of Christmas Eve marks eight years for 3ZHP. It was a Saturday so we'll just call it the best Christmas present of a lifetime. Purchased CPO with 28,090 miles. Today 109,520, making it just a little over 9K a year.

8 Years in Review

[3ZHPGUY]

Thanks everyone! it's been a fantastic ride, and through out that time, I met a lot of great people with the same interests, married off two daughters, expanded the family with 2 son-in-laws, & 4 grandsons, expanded the Bimmer family within the family to 4, attended some great car shows, did a few HPDS and auto-crosses, quite a few road trips and the daily driver thing that includes that included many traffic jams, drove in snow, sleet, rain hail and sun, used it to haul groceries, gifts and garbage, maintained it, worked on it, had the dealer work on it, washed it, detailed it and drove the hell out of it. Great car, great people, great fun, it just does it all.

Thanks again,

[Whammy]

Well done!
