If I had bankity bank bank for maintenance this would make sense... but I don’t so it doesn’t. Especially with the SMG...Lort those were finicky.

Ooooo.. that looks like it’s eventually going to break....but who cares...cause Bently!

Great read! Thanks for the tips- will be going through the article with a fine tooth comb tonight as my e39 touring is currently on craigslist for sale/trade and I’ve received some crazy offers.

It’s nutty that the engine bay is the cleanest part of this car. What a shit box.

Thank goodness there’s a more than a handful that struggle/ can’t heal toe... grind my gears more often than not when trying to heal toe. I’ve pretty much given up and just blip the throttle.

I don’t think you understand the question your posing... there’s no such thing as a cheap M3 E30....any mo....all the barret jackson bros ruined them all.....

That is some bad mamba jamba...he’s right only one of kind... hopefully someone puts it down so there’s none of it’s kind. What a shite pile...

Good on you... I live and work in a very rural area that doesn’t have public transportation- I see this everyday. This doesn’t count as public transportation- there’s a much bigger world outside of your dense urban bubble.

I know this might crush dreams...but this. Daily driven- just over 111,000 miles... in the six years of ownership probably 3-4k in expenses and I do the work myself. And yet when it comes time to replace...most likely another BMW- I would love an e63/e64. I love the abuse.

I couldn’t place the dash- marine grade vinyl is exactly what it looks like.

Ben your Christmas lights are still up.

Was there anything under the cars to catch leaks? Or do cars of such pedigree not leak fluids?

Ok I did the street view- those are normal/smallish houses. It would be one thing if this was an upscale neighborhood but it’s not. The guy probably lives there so he can afford his hobby of race car. I have a four car garage with an extra wide driveway- I’ll happily store his race car in my driveway. My neighbors are…

I concur with everything you said... I own an e39 touring which in the six years I've owned it I have put more money into it than its worth. I will drive the shit out of that fucking money pit- fortunately 525 and not 540. I also own e46 convertible - it had been strangely reliable and it just crossed 120k other than…

It’s crazy that Shmee150 is getting one....didn’t his wealth started out as a hobby? Kudos to him!

Wait...that's not a Toyota!

Is that interior shot rendered or is that the real deal? Lawd o mighty....

I have to wonder if the length of some of the car notes have anything to do with this forecast. Some dealerships advertise 84-100 month payment plans to keep the cost down. That’s crazy- if more folks that buying new are going this route then of course we’re going to see a down turn. Everyone is locked in these long…

Kudos to working on old German... I do all the work on my e46 330 and e39 525 touring. Of course the hoses are the plastic quality all Germans use that deteriorates under the most non stressful exposure and Dogs...I love dogs.

I think Richard looks like a porn star....that possibly killed someone with a 80's ballad from a band that played in bars with the hope David Geffen might someday be in the crowd and give them a multi million dollar contract.
