Well, the wife was getting a little tired of the base model '01 Rav4 that she's been driving. When I say "base model", I mean 2wd, no sunroof, cloth interior, didn't even have keyless entry when she got it. So we went looking.
Briefly, she flirted with the idea of an 80-series, but that was until she parked the Rav4 next to one and decided it was way too big and decided she wanted something smaller, that she could deal with a bit easier. However, the idea of a vehicle with some luxury to it caught her eye. So this is what we went with:
2002 BMW 325i - Alpine White with tan leather interior

I'd never driven a BMW before. My first impression - WOW, this is one solid, quality vehicle. It's got ample power. While 184hp isn't a lot (my Accord had 240), the power is smooooooth in the BMW straight-6. Erica has never owned anything but a 4-cyl., so she feels like she's in a racecar. Needless to say, she is happy with the change. http://images.ih8mud.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
