Do I Belong here?

[Stephen Carlisle <scarl1847@xxxxxxx>]

Interesting.  I have an '87 528e with 64,000 miles,  no modification,
and
an automatic
>transmission.  It is in excellent shape, has never been raced, and I do

none of the repairs
>myself.  I have only owned it for six months, but I have become very
fond
of it.  It is
>great on the highway at high speeds as well as on winding country roads
at
high speeds. I
>find that I drive faster than I did in my Corolla and  it seems like
many
other drivers
>don't go fast enough.  I get many complements on it (especially from
women), which is kind
>of fun.  It is three years older than the car I traded it for, and I
paid
more money for it
>($12,500) than the car usually sells for.  I felt that the condition
and
low mileage were
>worth a gamble.  It's so much more car than one can buy new for that
money.  It's expensive
>to maintain, but I'm planning to keep it for a long time.

>I wonder sometimes if I belong in the BMW digest.  It's mostly for
people
with "i"s or "M"s
>who race their own cars, constantly try to "upgrade" them, and have an
awesome mechanical
>and technical knowledge.  Still I find it fun to peruse, and one can
learn
from it.  The
>summaries at the top are helpful.  Sometimes I delete a whole issue
without reading anything
>but those.

>Are there BMW groups for old farts?  I doubt it.
