Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Hey guys,
It's been quite awhile since I've posted anything, and there's good reason: I pulled the ultimate bonehead move. I bought my wife a BMW 740iL at the beginning of December, and I fell in love with it... . so much so that I just had to have one too. I traded my 05 CTD in for a 2002 530i Sport. I soon grew to regret my decision.
We got hit with snow, and I immediately realized that I missed my truck. To top it off, we have a boat, a horse trailer and an Airstream... how was I going to tow? Hot glue both BMWs together? So the hunt for a replacement truck began.
Not too many dealers are excited to trade their used CTDs straight across the board for a Bimmer... . most just laugh. I hunted for many weeks, but I finally found something I am happy with.
I am going down to Houston next weekend to pick up a 2001 SLT Plus 3500 2WD CTD HO Quad Cab with 8ft bed. It has the NV5600, Dana 80, Heated leather seats, Trip console, Exhaust brake, CD/Cassette Player, Tow Package, Camper Package and has 92,850 miles. It is a 2 owner, non-smoker.
I have not been able to sleep, since I lost my mind and did what I did, literally. I have had to take Lunesta just to make it through the night. My Service Advisor told me I was crazy for doing what I did. He was right. Hopefully, in my wife's eyes, I have redeemed myself somewhat. Those of you who have tracked my past posts know what I added to our 05, and when I think about it I wonder what the hell I was thinking. I'll post again, when I've picked up my new ride.
