E38 and my life in general. It has been an almost daily stop for me to check in and see how things are going. The constant assistance and DIY help saved me thousands and thousands of dollars as well as learn new things i never thought i would know about BMW's.

I can tell you, this $4.00/gal gas has got to go. And if it doesn't, then i hope to drive something that doesn't use gas (or water pumps, radiators, etc) at all like an electric car. Unfortunately, an E38 really magnifies any increases in fuel when its time to fill up.

but enough of that, the car is truly an excellent machine and there is no other like it on the road. i will make things happen in my life really soon and always visit often.

I'm not going anywhere, just my car is.
