Those who follow my blog regularly will know that I was driving a 2010 Ford Mustang around south Florida. That was until one fateful afternoon when I was rear-ended on I-95.

Following the accident, I made the insane decision to drive my 2007 BMW 335i convertible from Pennsylvania to Florida. Those of you who said, “the ride isn’t too bad” will not be getting a Christmas card from me this year. Or next.

Well, as much as I loved that car, it was time to say “goodbye.” A convertible is great in Florida, but battling the psycho drivers on I-95 in a car I could easily be tossed out of wasn’t my idea of safety. So I decided it was time to get something a little more practical.

I had my mind sent on another BMW 3-series, but a 4-door. I visited Braman BMW in West Palm Beach and quickly ruled out another 3, pondered the idea of an X3 and decided on a 528i. I got a pretty unique color, Barbera Red with brown Dakota leather that looks great!
