congrats on your new GS!

I saw a mint 1972 BMW 2002ii the other day. Love those cars. It was so nice i took a picture of it... I can post a picture of it later today if you'd like.
Never see them around here, in NY

Thank you, i bought from Balise in Springfield. I went there many times over many months trying to sort out what to buy. Dealt with a great salesmanager, always helpful. They are not a really big dealership, they really were great to work eith. I hope service will be as good.

Thank you, I still have a picture of my second one, a '74 that i took just before i sold it. Long story how i had a '73 then a '74. Both were new when i bought them. Love to see a picture. I debated buying one but felt that the memory is much better.

Congrats and welcome! If you drove the same package cars and felt a different noise levels, it may have to do with how much psi they pumped in those puppies. Non f supposed to be around 32. F is around 35-36. Some dealers pump their cars to high 30s or low 40s! On the other had I felt like the car drives a bit more quiet after you break it in esp with the tires.

The dealer is switching tires for me to my first preference, Pirelli CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON PLUS
I am very happy.

Oh man, brings back great memories. What visibility. My '73 was malagna (burgundy) the '74 was silver blue metallic. Very nice.

Like I said in our PM, congrats! I love the atomic silver. It comes on the LS too in 2016, didn't in 2015 or I would have gotten that.

thank you.... oh that BMW does look good, I found a picture yesterday of my '74 but it was my '73 that I had the most fun in (but engine issues made me sell for a, gasp, TR6, only to be sold for the '74)
