Incredibly fun to drive. It was a little more than I wanted to spend, but I got what I consider to be a good deal. In the end, I liked this one the best, so I bought it.

I'm happy grin

Besides its sedanhood, the BMW also displayed a known "metallic ticking" engine defect. Apparently, you have to get it fixed under warranty or it's $4,000 for a new head. BMW is saying that it's not really a problem, but they're still fixing it under warranty. Hmmm. Don't want me a ticking engine.


Tom - this is the first time I've been able to see your pic, due to being at a remote location. Nice looking car! I'm glad you found something. So how much exactly was "a little more than I wanted spend"? LOL

Good job keeping your focus and completing your mission!
