On the bandwagon

[Onlooker]

Hello all. I've been lurking since February, when I became interested in the 1 Series, and I recently started posting here. On 07 May, I put a deposit down on a 2009 Jet Black 128i with Sport Package and on 30 May, yesterday, I completed the purchase and took delivery. The 1ADDICTS forum has been my primary source of information during the months I was doing due diligence and I would like to thank everyone who contributes to it, particularly the Canada regional forum.

Here are the particulars. I hope they help those who are where I was months ago. Please post any questions and I will do my best to answer them. Send a PM if you prefer.
