Besides your 4Runner, what else do you have in your garage?

BTW, [MENTION=105493]fo' runnin'[/MENTION], not sure how I missed that 510. That's another dream car. I also think they're a great buy right now. Prices of them in good shape are rising fast!

YUP!!! I picked mine up almost 2 years ago because I've always loved the cars and had a feeling that they would be going up in value! Luckily that feeling was right! I paid $4,750 for it.

Here is the list that came with it when I bought it.... It has sat in the garage ever since... I've put 00000 miles on it.

0 miles?! How can you resist the temptation?! My friend in HS had one. It handled AMAZINGLY.

The night I bought it the head gasket let go... I truly feel he didn't have the head torqued down right, because when I removed it the head bolts broke loose incredibly easy... I've since pulled the head, slapped a new gasket on, and put it back together, only for the head gasket to immediately fail again. After pulling the head a 2nd time I took it to the machine shop, they deemed that it was warped, so they fixed it for me, and I've since put it back together, only for it to crank and crank with no fire... I honestly just haven't messed with it much! It's just been sitting. Probably only worked on it for 10 hours total in the 2 years that it's sat... LOL She could be running in NO time if I'd just get out there and mess with it!
 
Like those rims alot, what size and are they staggered by chance? Wanting to upgrade my wife's from the 16's, even though it does drive pretty nice. Yours are by far on the top of my list...

They're "Style 162" factory BMW wheels. They came standard on 330i/335i sedans equipped with the sport package from MY2006-MY2008. Fronts are 18x8 (225/45-18) and rears are 18x8.5 (255/40-18).
 
Beautiful cars in here guys! Love it.

My daily driver, pic taken back in '07 not long after I picked it up stateside after my European Delivery trip.

They let you keep the europlate? Didn't know that. I have always wanted to do a European Delivery trip. How is that 335i after 7 years? My uncle had one from 07-08 and said that it was a nightmare the entire time with continuous issues.
 
I went from the Ram SRT-10 to the Runner, And this is the wife's Mini.

There's definitely a few of these threads floating around, but never mind seeing some of these rides pop up again. Especially this Caddy. Keeps me thinking of my dream of owning a '59 or '62.



A lot of you have seen this already, but here's what's in my garage currently. It's not mine for the record. Well, I mean not ALL mine. A couple friends and I went in on it together. But they have families and no room, so I get to keep it most of the time!

European Delivery is the ONLY way to buy (or lease) a BMW assuming you can deal with the long wait times involved. Yep, you get to keep the plate.

After 7 years and 90K miles it's been the best car I've ever owned. Mine has had typical 335 issues along the way (dead water pump, carbon'd up intake valves, wastegates) but despite this, even at its current age and mileage it still looks and drives great and I have a hard time justifying the expense of replacing it with something comparable. And that's the problem. To this day there is basically nothing you can buy, even new, that offers the E90's combination of comfort, high quality interior, performance, steering feel and all around road manners. The only comparable car I can think of that's better would be an Audi S4 (B8), but I can't justify the cost when my 7-year old "beater" is nearly as good.

I just got back from taking it on a week-long trip across the desert (SoCal to Phoenix and back). It was super comfy, the AC was ice cold in 113F temps and it got 27mpg at 80mph.
 
Here's the 4Runner and my wife's 2007 FJ Cruiser. We have a gold 2002 Grand Caravan, too, but that's not very exciting.
