Hello fellow BMW enthusiasts!
Wow! I never thought I would enjoy driving so much! Well, that's not true... I have had a one or two "driver's cars" in the past, before kids and responsibility took over. But I always wanted a BMW! Ever since my first days out of college and in business, when the more experienced and more discerning execs would show off their taste for fine driving machines with their Porches and Mercedes, and of course BMWs. Always wanted one of those Bimmers! That was the 80s, when a BMW was the "yuppie" ride of choice. Now, a few years (alright, decades) later, it's not about status, nor cliche', nor bling... it's just a cool car. I wanted something classy and fun, more than just a commuter shuttle ride, any old Camry will get me to work. Noooo... I wanted something I could enjoy in life. Now I didn't own or drive one in the 80s, and although I have heard they were a joy to spirit around in, I don't know how they could compare to my "new to me" 2010 BMW 328ix. What a ride! I picked up this cherry ride last weekend and the honeymoon is in full swing! Looking for excuses to drive to the store, around the block, or anywhere there is a winding stretch of open road. And man does this thing wind! I am loving the power, suspension, handling, comfort, style and electronic gizmos. Yes, my carpoolers are jealous (its really more than they deserve anyway), but this is not about them. This is about me driving the car of my dreams, finally! And unlike most things in life, my BMW is living up to the dream! Yowza!
The BMW dealer recommended I joined NCC BMW CCA (never been a car club member before), so here I am! Glad to meet y'all and see you on the blacktop!

Question: do BMW enthusiasts wave, nod, flash, or otherwise say "Hello!" to other BMW enthusiasts when they pass on the road?
