Pat, I think you'd approve. The condition of this car is impeccable. I looked for anything I could use to haggle. Only thing I found was a very well repainted passenger door. Its almost perfect.

Re: so I bought something...
So as of the last time I read the comment thread on this picture on FB it still hadn't been mentioned, but what are the plans for this car? DD service? Are you selling one of the other cars?

Re: so I bought something...
Plans for this are to daily drive it. The bonnevilles role is seriously in question. I have no idea what it's for anymore. I was originally.ally going to keep tinkering with the boner while daily driving the intrigue until I got a c6 corvette to take the bonnevilles garage space. At that point the Bonneville would become.the daily driver and the vette would obviously be the toy.
Now... I have no clue. Why daily drive the Bonneville when the bimmer is so much more comfortable and liveable? Why store the bimmer when it's not exactly anything exotic?
So I'm gonna daily the 330 and finish a few things on the Bonnie. Probably switch back and forth a lot. Lol.

Re: so I bought something...
Love it!
I have a feeling within a year or two this will be the new favorite and the Bonneville will be sold or just shelved

Re: so I bought something...
To clear up any confusion: Its an 05 330ci with sport, premium and cold weather packages. Its a 6mt.
I really dont know what the life plans for the bonneville are at this point. The Bimmer is way nicer to drive, obviously. But the Bonneville puts a bug stupid grin on my face by brute force. hahah!

Re: so I bought something...
Also, no offense, the Bonneville is much cooler. The Bimmer is just another Bimmer.
But then again, your Bonneville isn't your normal sort of run of the mill 3800 junk.

Can't wait to see more pics of this! I've been exploring a lot of different models, and the 325i and 330 have been a few at the top of my list.

Carl, when I bought it, my Bonneville was just another Bonneville. Who's to say I can't make something special of the bimmer?
