And that was probably all out of ONE county! ;) Seriously, I love the fact that I rarely see another model like mine...there were only 6500- 330 Coupes sold in the U.S. in 2001. I've seen less than a handfull since I took delivery in 2001 in and around the Seattle area.

BMW= Poor mans Porsche. I love P-cars, but I don't have the money to keep one serviced. At least BMW parts only run about 20% more than the Big 3 for parts (and labor is identical if you bring it in, Ford dealership charges $79 an hour and BMW dealership charges $80 an hour.)

I don't think I've seen a 330 here in town. The part of town I live in I see more Ferrari's 360 Spyders they must be pretty cheap for so many people to have them. I think Orlando is starting to turn into a little LA-ish..

Hey, I'll be in Orlando Nov. 29th thru Dec. 5th. We should get together for a beer. :)

The wife and kids will love the Warbirds Air Museum at the Kissimmee airport. Cheap admission and the kids'll learn something. Allow 2 hours, 1 more if you really get into military aircraft restoration. You'll probably find a flyer at the hotel or shopping malls. You might also check out Fantasy of Flight (allow half-day there).

I recommend the shrimp and angel hair pasta at the Olive Garden on International Drive.

Sounds like we have 3 meeting for a beer! :) Anyone else? Eagler, where do you live in relation to Orlando? I'll initially be flying into my old stomping grounds, Ft. Lauderdale for the first day and last day then driving up to Orlando.

The 330 COUPE, only 6,500 sold in the US in 2001. I'd say thats rare compared to 1.1 MILLION Honda Preludes ;) (There were 25,000 330i's sold, the Sedan "I'm a fat old woman" four door model)

I've heard that, and the Dealer that gave me those numbers said that the two states BMW 3'ers sell the most in is Californicate and New Jersy. Still, for every BMW you see, you'll see 20 Honda's first, even there I'm sure. ;)

Post by: BEVO on August 18, 2003, 04:41:37 PM: 6,500 sold? cheese, I guess 6000 of them are in dallas then.

Post by: funkedup on August 18, 2003, 04:51:04 PM: I guess the good thing is that they don't have huge metal wings bolted on the trunk. You would not believe the rice down here. It just gets worse and worse the closer you get to San Jose.
Title: What the BMW Z4 SHOULD have looked like
Post by: funkedup on August 18, 2003, 04:52:58 PM: Actually what the hell am I saying. Some of the worst rice down here is perpetrated on early 90's 3-series. You even see riced out Porsches. Only MBz seems to be immunie.

Ya know, we're just starting to see alot of modified rice with huge wings, along with mod body kits that are still primered, yet placed "loosely" on the car so that that flap in the slip stream as they pass you...and 24" wheels on SUV's....man, I realize we had our day in the sun with big M50 tires and jacked up rear ends in the late 60's early 70's...but some of this crap I'm seeing today has got me shaking my head like an old fuddy duddy. :)
