3 different tire date codes on a high end super sedan is all i need to know

Being Manhattanites, my ex and I rented cars for trips many times over the decades we were together. I drove, so invariably we pulled over and I jumped out to see where the gas cap was on our way back to the rental place.

Did this need to be a comment?

This is a radwood headturner and a solid daily driver for an enthusiast. Heck yeah NP

A shiny but slapdash respray in an incorrect color is actually more off-putting to some than a three-speed slusher (still pretty common in those days), but it’s still a good deal for an appealing car that otherwise looks to be in pretty decent shape. I’d want a local BMW expert to independently corroborate that…

Because the plates are registered to the vehicle....?

I’m suspicious.

I would say this is a very far-fetched take.

Anytime we’re asked NP/ND on a car more than 25 years old, it must meet a specific requirements. It either must have great utility for the buck (a good truck in great condition, nice Saturday top-down cruiser, etc.) or ostensibly peaks on the “rule of cool” gage. For under $7,000, this is peak rule of cool. Nice Price.

And now, all these decades later, I actually get the joke behind the governor’s name in Blazing Saddles.  William J Le Petomane.

In Danish too. Our elevators say “I FART” when it is coming/occupied.

You’ll like how the French pronounce MR2 - Toyota sold it as the MR Coupé there, IIRC.

And his name was Pujol - POO HOLE

The French really really like a fart joke, abridged from wikipedia;

SAAB:

I’ll make another nomination, just because it tends to be a bit more obscure.

I’ve always liked the Holden logo.

Low hanging fruit: Alfa Romeo.
