Also, the “bitch clip” holding BMW manual shifter carriers to the transmission.  That one’s not actually bad with the right tool and a good understanding of what direction it needs to move in, but if you lack either of those you can be in for an hour of fiddling and cursing with no progress.

For years now, CarMax has been treating both buyers and sellers like children. Sale prices too high, but non-negotiable. Buying prices too low, and also never budge on those.

It hurts me so much that this is now true.

Lemmie know when those E46M3 prices start going up....
