Hello. My name is Bardo and I'm from Southern CA. The first car I purchased for myself was a used Z3 Roadster around 20 years ago. Despite already having 78,000 miles on it after only 2 years of use, the car lasted me an easy 9 years more and an extra 80,000 miles by the time I traded it in for a beautiful and new alpine white 1-Series. The fact that the roadster was still in top running shape by the time of the trade in had me sold an BMW for life. A few years later I ended up crashing the baby bimmer a few times due to an undiagnosed medical condition. The last accident totaled the car and indefinitely suspended my license. The additional fact that I walked away from each accident unscathed sold me even further on BMW due to its safety standards. Well, after years of successful treatment I plan to have my medical providers authorize my license reinstatement at the start of 2021. In the meantime I couldn't help myself from purchasing another Z3 Roadster that is pretty much a carbon copy of my first. As I wait for a new license I am already getting my roadster kicks by having my friends and such chauffeur me around town in my car.
