i was a camry owner b4 a bimmer owner

and as much as i love the bmw. and its a great car

nothing beats the reliability of a toyota!

and the low maintenance cost!

if i ever have to replace my Daily driver it will be with another toyota..

maybe the new camry!

oh and with 166k miles on the clock and the v6 i still can get up to 27mpg if i keep it under 80 and drive conservatively on the highway.

but normally i'll get 24mpg!

 

sweet garage floor...i'm jealous

nice rides too btw

 

awesome

166k

im only at 113k


its encouraging to see that I can get even more milage trouble free

 

Nice toys!

 

166k

im only at 113k


its encouraging to see that I can get even more milage trouble free

here's a list of whats been done to it since new...

2 o2 sensors at 90k miles along with plugs
new plugs again at 150k miles.
new timing belt at 165k (lucky i went that long on the original timing belt)
accessory belt at 90k and again at 165k.
coolant flush/brake fluid flush
3 fuel filters

trans fluid once every yr
synthetic oil change once 3-4 months
new tires as needed.
brakes as needed.

the last service is the most i've spent for service on the camry that was 750.....

most of the work i've done myself except for fluids/belts.

 

Nice man I love it! Such a beautiful car!!!


Oh yeah, and the Camry's cool too. :lol:

 

Nice car. YOu make me miss my 00 Camry (totaled last December).

How come your license plate starts with 5? Even as late as 2002 sequential plates started with 4.

I bought the car in texas.

moved to CA in 03.

at first i had a vanity plate.

then i switched to a sequential plate in august 2005

 

Sweet cars man, and your garage is so clean.:thumbup:

 

that looks an awful lot like my garage...in 10 years:lol:

 

You're lucky that nothing major has gone wrong, but if you take care of it, it will take care of you. I really like the 5 series too, makes me salivate. :licklips:

yea i know i am very lucky i haven't had anything major go wrong.

but i try to perform as much preventative maintenance as i can...

i just really slacked off on getting the timing belt changed!

 

nice rides. the woodgrain trim does indeed complement the camry's interior. and you have about the same mileage i have on my 97 gen3. i like the 5 series bimmers too and nearly got one instead of the camry on the same day (albeit older than yours)... i just didn't have the extra $3k at the time (i think it was a 92 or a 93 model)

probably the 5 you were lookin at was an e34 the generation before the e39 (theo ne i have)

i love the e34 body style to this day....one of my buddy's has one with 155k miles on it (94 530i)

3 liter v8 that bmw had out for a while in the mid 90's....

still looks great today!

id love to have a 95/96 m5 high revving 3.4 liter with 320 hp inline 6 with a 6 speed!

 

hey nice car!!

ive never seen my color on a tan interior, or with wood.

and just curious, is there a prob with the trunk? did you have work done to it? looks like he seems are a tad off, and the emblems look out of place.

and you lucky basturd, you have painted mud guards! =P
and if you ever sell the car, would u sell me the mud flaps? lol

yea there is a prob with the trunk a few months back i backed into someone which pushed my rear bumper in wards and caused the trunk to be that way

it opens/closes just fine so i'm not worried.

bought the painted mudguards when i got the car in oct 2000

yea i'd sell u the mud flaps if i ever sell the car

BUT the problem is i'm not selling this car ever..UNLESS I REALLY NEED TO...
its been a reliable daily driver (knock on wood) and since it was my first new car i've got a certain bit of attachment to it.

i'm planning on driving the car until i can!!

 

awesome! do you know if i could get real wood for my 03?

i'm sure you can. this was a dealer installed accessory.

but i've seen the wood kits at the dealer. maybe find out who makes those and look for them online.

there's plenty of company's out there that make real wood trim kits for alot of late model vehicles.

 

hey I P Daily, lol

check out ebay, they have a few dash kits, that might help you.

and pani, its all good, im just jealous that another LE V6 has painted mud guards, lol

i just realized your car has like over 100k more than mines. thats insane!

nice V1

 

nice V1

thanks

its saved my ass a few times


both in the camry and in the bmw.

i can tell when my camry hits 80-85

in the bmw 105 feels like 65....

 

i never driven a bimmer, but doin 115 felt smooth as 60 in my camry...then again, i did this ignorantly, on S rated (112 mph max) tires, lol

 

It seems you have the exact same problem like mine. On the driver's side power window the glue thingie seems to have come off. I did get this repaired for $35 dollars at the local auto store, but it only lasted till the next summer season. Anyone know of any long term fixes to this? (i assumed i was alone...but i guess this is a gen4 problem for those with wood-trim).
