I still can't believe I've had my car for 2 1/2 years

And I only have 18K on it... looks like my warranty'll run out before my next scheduled service. Cost of Ownership... what a concept.

Still love this car, though even if it *is* a bloated pig with numb steering.
It sure was fun to get it out on a track

You've still got 18 months to put 12k on it. I've got faith in ya, Eugie.

I have had mine for 18 months, and I just hit 6000 miles.

No... it's an 'ought-one; only has a three year warranty :\

Phil - I think my car is just fine, thanks, but there are -ahem- *others* who feel differently about the E46s

You know... You'd think that the fact that I have an '01 would have jogged my memory of that fact.
