[QUOTE="HLee, post: 26904, member: 24544"] Hello evryone, nice to meet all of you.Just sold a Camry 2.0G 2008 and got a 320i 2001 E46 Jap Spec model, have had her for 3 days now. Never owned a BMW before. No regrets so far, seriously. So you can imagine.I bought because i really like the E46. Some observations:1.
