        yeah, looks like you need to somehow get back home. That sucks. It's going to get cold tonight here, high 20s, so make a plan now

            Did you try calling your insurance you might have roadside assistance.
            To at least get a tow.

              Damn dude, that sucks. I have nothing to offer but my sympathies and say that my e30 has arrived places on a flatbed before too.

                Yeah just glue those rocket arms back on too... lol

                In all seriousness, pretty crappy situation. Hope you figure something out. Good excuse to drop a m50 in, then no more timing belt worries.

                  get car towed to local cheap motel (red roof in?) and gather your thoughts and plans there. maybe get someone from home to come get you with a trailer or go rent a truck and trailer from u-haul

                    I sent messages to a couple of BMW/E30 guys in the area pointing them to this thread. Not sure if/how they can help...

                            Good point - your insurance will prob pay for a tow. Call them and ask

                              They will probably tell him the tow bill will be more than the car is worth.

                                Do you carry Discover or Amex? They offer roadside assistance/towing as part of being a member...
