Why is it that?.................
« on: 25 May 2011, 20:15 »
Hi,

I have a question, I used to have a BMW e39 530d until it dies.  I didn't do anything to it, it was bog standard.

Unfortunately it died, and I ended up buying 1.8t gti. 

My question is this,

Why is it that I now want to do 'stuff' to it to make it 'personal'.  It doesn't make sense.

its all good getting the bug when you eventually get to after constantly plowing money into fixing it first!  :angry:
