As posted here way back then, we picked up my wife's E46 325i at the
factory in
Munich on December 22, 2001, and ten minutes later were doing 100 mph on
the
autobahn headed for Vienna. We put 2600 miles on it in three weeks before
dropping it off for ****pment home. Even on the autobahns, these days there
are
enough construction and urban zones with lower speed limits that I never
worried
about cruising too long at a constant speed.
The only beat it's missed since was when the battery died in '05. Other
than
that glitch, it's like new.
