I'm 26 years old and when I think back to the tremendous amount of money I have blown on cars, sometimes I wish I was capable of buying a hyundai accent and driving it for 14 years. I guess everybody has their vices.

Wow dude, we're the same age and I'm on my 4th car and you're on your 14th! Yikes! Why'd you dump the '99 E46 323i for an Accord EX-V6? Or do I not want to know?
#19010 of 30038 Strange sound coming from the rear by sbelfon Jul 19, 2002 (9:20 am)
With all this BMW knowledge buzzing around perhaps one of you could help me diagnosis this problem. I recently noticed a grinding sound coming from the rear passenger side of my E36 (40K mi.). It seems to be most prevalent when I first start driving and at slow speed. It sounds loke a CV joint problem but I'm hoping I'm wrong.   I've kept current on maintenance (dealer and independant) and would expect that a worn boot would have been picked up at my last inspection, a Type II at the dealership.   Any insight anyone could offer would be appreciated.

What Kominsky said for the '01 coupes applies to the '02 as well. The sport seats are quite a good match for the capabilities of the car. After driving my new coupe for three weeks, I had to drive the old Sentra again. During the first hard turn, I nearly slid off the side of the seat. It's amazing how quickly one forgets!   Egads ... Looks like I'm one of the few who keeps their car for the duration. My list:   '79 Buick Opel hand-me-down from Mom when I got my license. I believe Buick rebadged an Isuzu Kadett coupe. I wish I had a picture of it.   '93 Nissan Sentra - First new car, junior year of college. Incredibly reliable. The only major work done is a pair of front rotors and CV boots. Even the original clutch is still hanging in there!   '02 330ci - Topaz/grey, SP, PP, HS. I figured I've been a good boy, worked hard and saved money. Since no one else will, I rewarded myself with a 30th bday present. It was within stretching distance, and I figured I may as well enjoy it now rather than later. I'm all grins 1900 miles and ... wow! ... only six weeks later!?!? Feels like I've been enjoying the car much longer than that! Gotta love it.   -Glenn
#19012 of 30038 rambling by leenelsonmd Jul 19, 2002 (1:41 pm)
I love the car histories.   Getz1: impressive. Good vice to have though. I wish I had the resources to change cars every few months.   I may stick with my '95 325i (95k miles and no problems whatsoever). I am admittedly disappointed by the lack of any change in the 2003 3 series. I thought that they would at least put a 6 speed in it to compete with the G35 coupe. I may just keep old faithful and wait for next year. Any thoughts on the 2004 3 series?
#19013 of 30038 STOP THIS CAR LISTING NONSENSE!!! by ubrsf Jul 19, 2002 (1:42 pm)

#19014 of 30038 His-story by kbhockey Jul 19, 2002 (5:41 pm)
Ok, here's mine. Not as eventful as some, but I have enjoyed them all...   83 Honda Accord (with Hyperblinker!) 67 Camaro (327 w powerglide) 89 Jimmy (stolen once) plowed thru superstorm of 93 97 Acura Integra GS-R
#19015 of 30038 Ok, I'll Bite by mschukar Jul 19, 2002 (7:04 pm)
'74 Vega (parents car, learned to drive) '80 Datsun 510 (parents hand-me-down, RWD, good in snow) '85 RX-7 (Great car, high insurance, bad in winter-starting & tires) '93 Ford Probe GT (Ok, we all make mistakes, hit a deer with the RX-7 and liked the looks, probably only FWD car I'll buy for myself) '95 Mazda 626 (wifes car, but I drove it for a few years) '95 Miata (most fun for the buck IMHO, had to sell when we had a daughter) '98 Volvo V70 wagon (great car...for the wife) '02 325i SP (sold the Miata and the 626 and got the best of both)   Hmmm, I'd say the only FWD car I bought for myself was the most disappointing of the lot (it was terrible in the snow on top of it all)! And to think I still have to explain to people why RWD is better!?!   -murray

#19017 of 30038 Another History by meb330i Jul 19, 2002 (10:41 pm)
Away from the board for a week. 132 messages later, I guess I'll add my history:   1977 Chevy C10 Pickup 1978 Monte Carlo--College car, red, complete with white vinyl rear roof. Had for 7 years. Reupholstered the seats, put in a short block, and more AC compressors than you could count. 1988 Honda Accord LXi--First new car 80-something Dodge 2+2 coupe--Bought from a pilot in Korea and stayed there a year later 1994 Saab 900SE--Original dream car. Bought through Military Sales in Germany and cruised over Autobahn for a year 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass--Traded Honda for wife's car. Big mistake (Olds, not wife) Traded car even (barely) in two years. Last American car I'll ever look at! 1999 Saab 9-3SE--Wife's dream car 2002 330i--Current dream car, although the M3 being deliverd the night I picked it up...Never mind!
