1995 Saturn SC2
1991 Saturn SC
2000 Saturn SC2
2001 Saturn SC2
1999 Saturn SC2
2007 Saturn SKY

Considering my SKY has a 5L40E auto from the (E46) technically I was already supplementing my GM products with BMW used hardware.
When ObamaScare was implemented and decided to create Government Motors I was all but delivered on my eventual 2012 328i.
That's my big F.U. to GM from a loyal Saturn owner..

After doing one auto-manual conversion in my early 20's, I swore never to do it again.
Awesome to see an ex Viggen driver on here! If it makes you feel any better, the turbos never came in automatic, so it was probably misadvertised. Doubt you wanted to play with 135hp haha...you dodged a bullet!

Ditto on that auto-manual conversion...currently haven't wired up reverse lights in my 5th MR2 yet....

My family was a Saab family for a little while too. We've had an 02 9-5, 04 9-3ss, and 06 9-7x. I was actually a moderator on Saabcentral from 2006 until I gave up on Saabs....haha...

LOL. Must have been an NA auto, makes it even worse lol.

Cool that you were on SC!

I was on there as well as most of the forums. I am still active as I always have a Saab in the stable. I got my wife a left over '11 9-3 SS XWD in April. I put a JZW stage 1 tune, intake and Forge BPV on it.

Here is the article from when my Viggen was stock. Please ignore the terrible picture of me in the embarrassing dress and pose.

Yea it was the Japanese 2nd gen 3s-ge with 165hp (though iirc 156 in automatic form). With a 4th gear longer than the 5th on the manual -_________- It's much better now that it has been swapped.

Beautiful Viggen! A blue 2dr Viggen is so rare on the road...I think I've seen two in California (and in my entire lifee) since I moved here in 2003 from Michigan. I was hoping to get a 2002 Viggen instead of the 9-5, but the manual transmission was a deal breaker since the car was shared.

I was never much of a BMW guy. My family is really into Mercedes and so I just kind of grew up liking them better for no real reason. Anyways, after I sold my Z I was something fun and a little nicer so I checked out a 135i locally. I had never driven a BMW before. Bought it that day and have been a "BMW guy" since!

Only a couple of cars here. I tend to stick to a car and hold onto it for awhile, so it has to be something "fun." The 135i should hold up just fine, though I'm only planning on having it for 3 years.
