Disclaimer: I'm only a newbie to the e86.
I've been (mostly) lurking here for a few months. And I've been (very nicely) asked to post an intro here.
A tiny bit of background on me:
I'm a BMW addict.
The Z4 Coupe is my 8th BMW.
I still own 5 of them. (and a Tundra to haul gravel and lumber)
I have Zero garage queens. All are dirty. All get driven.
3 have been on racetracks. (Laguna Seca, Infineon, Thunderhill, Willow Springs, and ButtonWillow)
I've driven on the 'Ring (3 Day BMW Club driving school, in a rental 118d )
To earn all the money I spend at BMW parts counters, I help develop consumer electronics. Perhaps you've heard of a few: Macintosh, Newton, WebTV, iPod, Akimbo, and a few recent products for SanDisk and Sirius Satellite radio.
I am also a California Certified Water Treatment Plant Operator. (how's that for random?)
Currently in the Driveway:
1988 M6 (Track Car) - 146k miles
1989 750iL (aka "Drippy" aka "Squishy") - 214k miles
2000 M5 (formerly my Daily Driver) - 108k miles
2001 Tundra TRD (Hauls Stuff) - 66k miles
2004 X5 4.4i (The wife's) - 49k miles
2007 Z4 Coupe 3.0si (Commute & Track toy) - 8000 miles
= 25.6 litres & 1790 Horsepower
...and now you must suffer through the bandwidth-wasting pictures of my car:
