Default My dad won an '06 325xi at work

They had a raffle drawing and he was chosen out of 437 other employees. :eek5: He already has an '04 330Ci that he owns, it's a 2-year lease on the 325xi, he said he's pretty sure he's just going to opt for the cash payments it would have been equalled to.

Lucky fuck. :happysad:

EDIT: Not sure if it's AWD or just the RWD i.

Doesn't the X designate the AWD system?

Tickets were free in his department, they did the raffle just as a perk for the year. They finally got the F22 (the air to air fighter jet, not the engine :squint: )out of development stages and now onto production ready capability.

British Aerospace Systems (BAE). He's been from General Electric to Lockheed Martin, Sanders, and now to BAE. There's been a lot of mergers and subsidizing projects over the years.

I'm not positive on this, but I think he has a choice between the 325i or 325xi for model selection.
