Hi Guys,
I've been on the forum for some time now but never really started my own thread with my ride... Just thought I should document this momentous occasion in my life with this being the first car that I have purchased. The fact that this is a BMW only adds to the feeling and is something I still smile about whenever I get into my car.
I've always had a deep appreciation for the brand ever since my older brother started his love affair with BMW's, I was still in high school at this time and had no hope of owning one... I lusted after the many ones he owned over the years, something that now stands like 14 different BMW's, showing immense passion for the brand. I attended 2 different fanatics meet ups in that time and this only contributed to the brand's appeal for me. I knew that I had to get a BMW... :blowheart:
Throughout campus I used the Audi and I have to say it is a brilliant car, I will definitely own one again in the future. After driving a BMW I have to say the old tag line "Sheer Driving Pleasure" holds true and don't think I could step away from the brand.
I started my search for a BMW e46 330i in January this year after my brother bought his in December. I searched for quite some time and finally found one, all the way in Cape Town, this was SpeedDemon's ex car... Having just started a new job, I couldn't afford to go and see the vehicle in Cape Town and I sent my brother on my behalf to check the car out and let me know if it was what I was looking for. He saw the potential in the car, purchased it and drove it all the way to Durban. I used the car for a short while, but quickly realized that the car needed a fair bit of TLC to get to a condition I would be happy with and I didn't have that time available...
Having gone with him to view the Mtech I in December, it was certainly love at first sight for me and it so happens that fate had to hand to play, as this is now my pride and joy! This is basically a one owner car and is in remarkable condition for a 11 year old vehicle. I have attended a few meets this year and have made some good friends in the process. I now display my BMWFanatics stickers with pride having been a part of this crazy community for some time. A big thanks to those that helped me with the little issues and invaluable advice over the year :thumbs:
I will use this thread to update my journey with this truly epic car 🎬 Now on to some pictures :=):
Thanks all for reading! :ty:
