Arrows · 06-06-2006, 07:07 PM

i feel how you guys feel on driving our e46's.in the past before i had my e46 my mom would ask me to get something from the store, i'd be like i'm too lazy but now i'd get up in a second and cruise arnd before i get home, but sometimes i forget what i was supposed to bring back home! hehe.

^^^^^ couldn't agree more, my 02 mustang GT was a lot of fun to drive when I was in the mood, but there were days where I just didn't want to even think of driving that beast. but the E46 makes me smile everytime I drive it. I don't think there's a day that goes by that I don't look down and see that roundel on the steering wheel and want to cry I'm so happy/excited/filled with positive feelings!!!

Im also in the "drive my e46 just for fun" club. If I wasn't, I wouldn't be on this website i guess!

I love my car!!!! I love driving around and most of all I love getting compliments from complete strangers!

e46m54325ci · 10-10-2006, 07:54 PM

yea ^^^ so many compliments a lot of ppl really like these cars, sad thing is so many more could have em but they all think they're more expensive than they are, like ppl think my car is $40k minimum, and I'm like no I paid $25k, with a warranty and only 20k miles and they're jaws drop as they get into their $25k ford 500 or what have you, I think a lot of folks are still intimidated by the german brands, like the way the dealers used to be, and some still are, well snooty and stuck up

Five_seveN · 10-31-2006, 11:57 PM

if my A/C didnt elicit a cadaver stench, id spend more time driving the long route home. taking it in for service this weekend though so thatll be taken care of

I just love driving my car period. I get such a stupid grin when I start it and my wife always makes fun of me. But, whether it's to the store, work, the autobahn (especially the autobahn) I just love driving it. It's going to be a shame when I move back to the States and their speed limits.

Chuck, your ride just looks so damn elegant man! Styling.

I also just get a thrill of how smooth and efficiently my 330D does things. Its just such a pleasure to drive.

budman · 01-01-2007, 06:59 AM

I drive my Chevy all the time (daily) .. so when I get home and get bored, if the weather is nice, I will take the M to stretch its legs for a bit..

We usually take my car, but every so often I'll drive the wifes Touring for the hell of it

Mangoes · 01-01-2007, 10:42 PM

i just got back from taiwan yesterday and the first thing i did when i got home was drop my bags and grab my keys to take the 330i for a spin =D.

Racinghart · 01-07-2007, 09:52 PM

I take the back roads home from work, which has a bunch of twisties. Pure therapy.

Rayce185 · 01-07-2007, 09:56 PM

Same here. Although its approx 1.30EUR/Litre here now, I always take the longest ways home, or the fastest (Autobahn = 240km/h

)

For me there is nothing more relaxing than sitting in my bimmer and just drive... anywhere, no care, just go with the flow and enjoy the beauty and subtleness of the car...

mark///m3 · 01-07-2007, 10:06 PM

yeah when i would have a stressful day or just in a bad mood i would take the m for a nie long curvy ride at night. but now that i have a 4runner its not the same. can't wait for nice weather to bring the bike back out

M3_GTR · 01-08-2007, 06:12 AM
