Acquired my new daily driver a few days ago. It is a 2005 325it.

I have looked off and on for an e46 touring with a manual transmission for about 5 years. Finding this one at this time was serendipitous. It was local, one owner, full documentation and repair history, 81k on the clock. It has a few blemishes, but nothing I can't fix.
The manny tranny wagons are rare, especially in 2wd, and die-hard enthusiasts will cross the country to get them.
Plans are fluid, but right now I admit it is reeeeeeaaaaaly nice to have a comfortable car to commute in. I have forgotten how smooth the modern DOHC L6 BMW engines are.
My wife is a little jealous of the car, but she took solace when I told her the IS300 Sportcross she drives is probably faster. . Still not sure how she agreed to me buying another BMW, but it happened!
