Hey guys,

I was really happy when I got the mail with the subject line Membership Approved. It feels nice to be a part of a community with people who share similar interests.

I've been going through multiple threads over the past few months and then decided to join in the fun. My name is Rajat. I live in Bangalore and bought my first car in 2007. It was a Pre-Worshiped Hyundai Accent. It was a really cool car back then with the rear antenna coming up every time you switch on the stereo system.

After that, I bought a Ford Fiesta diesel in 2010. That is the car which I had for a really long time. I drove around 60000 kms with that before passing it on to my brother, who further added another 80000 kms to the odometer bringing the grand total to 1,40,000 km. It is the highest we have driven on any of our cars.

In 2013 I picked up the VW Jetta, which had been a dream car of mine. I picked up a Highline manual (I still kick myself for not buying the DSG). That one lasted with us for only 2 years as I really wanted to get an automatic because of the traffic situation in Bangalore. That's when I went ahead and bought myself a pre-worshiped BMW 7 Series 730Ld which had driven just 9000 KMS (I'll do a full review soon).

Then I had do buy another small car. VW Polo was the best one around at the time. A car which doesn't seem to age at all. Unlike the i20 which I felt aged horribly and was afraid that the Elite will do the same.

I hope to contribute by adding my two bits of knowledge to the community.

Welcome Rajat to the forum. Great to have you here. Will look forward to your ownership of the Jetta. Its a timeless car which never ceases to age in its look and appeal.

Do stop by the introduction board and please get familiar with the rules. The forum takes a very strict stand on posts being correctly structured and articulated. After all once written they would be etched for eternity. So, we might as well do it right!

Welcome once again and see you around!

Hey Rajat, welcome to the forum!

You went from an Accent to a 7-Series in ~8 years? Wow, that is very very impressive! I'm certainly looking forward to your review of the luxo barge. Please do post an ownership thread for the same.

Wish you a happy time here!

Hey thanks for that. I'll do an ownership review of the Jetta for sure as I still have lots of pictures of the car.

Thank you! The first thing I'm going to do is the ownership thread for the 7 and how I ended up with this beauty.

Welcome to the forum Rajat. You have some awesome collection of cars. Please post some customary pictures of the 7 Series while we wait for your full review.

[BMvW.Rajat]

This is a picture I already had on my phone.

The 3 Series belongs to my brother, the E 250 is my dad's daily driver and the 7 is mine.



We own 2 more cars that you can't see in the pic.

A detailed thread of the 7 is coming up soon.
