If it was anything but an accident he would be in prison, not able to race. It amazes me that people think they have more information than the authorities present at the time.

I've got one ordered. M3, Alpine white on Alcantara/cloth, manual, lighting package, and seat heaters.

It's called an indemnity bond.

A new GTI with DSG is 10k - $182, 20k - $249, 30k - $275, 40k - $699. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Where the air smells like warm root beer, and the towels are oh so fluffy.

I'll refute you on all points. The E65 is the only maintenence queen BMW that comes to mind. With those, there really is nothing you can do but pray.

Nope, I have an E23 now, and I've had both E32 and E38. I have had no major issues. All the horror stories you hear are from incompetent (dealer) mechanics who were never properly trained on diagnosing or maintaining the car. My E32 750i had 390,000kms on it when I sold it. Everything worked, and I spent $500 on…

??? BMW has ALWAYS been lighter on maintenance than an equivalent Mercedes.

No. No such thing as 3rd party parts, and even if there were they would still be worse than second hand parts with unknown condition.

sell an expensive car, throw down on a cheaper car and some bills or two cheaper cars.

Dig it. E23 owner here.

LED. Pressing the check button lights them all so you can see if all the lights are functioning properly.

So. Fucking. What.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. The FIRST 745i was a 3.4 liter.

Hell. Yes.

But an N54 335i with a *small* amount of work done can walk an M3...

For the record, a proper butt crimp is better than a poor solder. I like butt crimps for high vibration applications. Having said that, judging by the photos, that headlight will be dim in no time again.

really? The s2000 got the f22 because the 9k recline kept cracking valve retainers.

Really? You're putting the E46 junkfest over the E90, and the F30 over the E90?
