An introduction...

Hey guys,

I'm Kyle from Indianapolis, and I'm purchasing an 07 TL-S 6-spd in just under two weeks. I was originally very active in the Subaru community and I've spent the last four years within the e28 chassis BMW community. I've lurked for the past few weeks or so, so I figured that I should probably make a profile.

The other cars in the stable:

05 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS (Trading it to get the TL-S)
04 BMW 330xi 6-spd (my wife's car)
88 BMW 535is 5-spd (my baby)

Excited to meet new people and learn a new chassis to work on. Thanks!

Loving the E28!

i was an E36 owner before my TL. I'm actually thinking of buying an E30 coupe or E36 coupe as a weekend car next summer.

Just something about older BMs that I love.
