Why we are here

Why are we here? Well...I am not sure about you, but I am here because I thought it would be fun to write a little bit about BMWs and the surrounding culture. I used to maintain another blog, motorchrome, but found writing a general automobile blog a little overwhelming for a single person who has an unrelated [very] full-time job. Narrowing my focus a bit may help keep this going a bit.

I only very recently became a BMW owner, although I have been a frequent driver of the family E30 325i cabriolet - 5 speed of course. I have also had the privilege of spending lots of wheel-time with the E36 family thanks to a good friend of mine. What I can attest too, however, is that I appreciate a focused, sporting automobile - and this is where BMW comes in. I have always admired the BMW brand for holding tight to its roots. Every BMW I have ever driven, from 318 to M5, has made me smile and think "now this is a fine car".

I also may have a slight case of OCD and tend to become ravenous in my research. I spent countless hours leading up to the purchase of my 325i examining all options and possibilities, and the same care is placed in everything from the type of tires I used to the brand of wax. I hope that this quirk of mine will be beneficial for someone out there.
