Some guy in Cincinnati Craigslist has a 535i for sale for $1800, but needs, supposedly, a crank sensor.  It’s been there awhile, which surprises me a bit.

This is the kind of story that should be taught in high school Financial Literacy classes. If they had them. But by God my kids were taught Venn diagrams and factoring quadratic equations!  Compound interest not so much...

I had an ‘84 GS, complete with carburetor. Your impressions of the car, including the diminutive size, are spot on. The car was a hoot to drive, and if you weren’t winding it out, you weren’t doing it right. I sort of disagree with the whole rotary reliability rep.  Keep the oil changed, and don't turn it off before…

I’ll add a suggestion: if it's a screw with a spring, paint mark the screw and the body. Run the screw in until the spring is fully compressed. Note how many turns it took. Now you have a baseline to reassemble.

Alfetta GT, in red of course, with deep buckets seats. I still remember exactly where and when I was when I saw it.

Sounds like current management is trying to salvage a real cluster.  Any business is a reflection of it's founder or CEO. Who was running the show and the company into the ground? That's worth knowing
