Hello,
Just
wanted to share my experience with my first BMW. You know there
comes a time in everyone's life when they reach that certain age when
you feel old and depressed and you find some toy to perk up your
spirits. At 40 I went out and bought a motorcycle to try and
rekindle my youth. This worked out fine until spinal surgery put a
halt to my motorcycling days.
Now at
65 I am in the same predicament. Reaching retirement and having a
lot of time on my hands I decided to rekindle my adventurous spirit.
My son had already purchased a 1999 740 sport and had been trying for
several years to get me to give up my beautiful (back breaking) truck
and experience the pleasure of BMW life.
After
enough badgering my him I decided to take the plunge and purchase a
similar 740. My local craigslist had a beautiful 740 touring sedan
in immaculate condition. After some excellent refresh work by my
local BMW mechanic at Mpowered of Cary my "black beauty" is
purring like a kitten and rides like it is on a cloud.
I am
proud to be part of such a wonderful organization and hope to be a
member for many years.
