Look what I bought... (it's not an E30, but it's a BMW)

Guy....

I'm not "defending" my purchase.... I couldn't be happier quite frankly...

Have you actually owned one? Or are you just giving me whatever you "learned" on the internet?

In closing.... you crapped on MY thread....

We Remain,

:weak:

If you need to defend your purchase go for it.
I'm just sharing my experiences with the 8 series...

We service them.
Is that enough "Real World" experience for you? Each item listed above comes directly from experience with 8er's in our shop.

Yes, I've driven them.

You're also focusing solely on the negative. I said they look great. They are a great GT car when they run/drive right. Wonderful for a long leisurely drive.

Ok.. fair enough... Out of curiosity, just how many have you "serviced"?

Langsten - Isn't it also fair to say you always see cars on their worst day (needing _____ repaired)? I'm not interested in stirring the pot, just saying your view is skewed too. Maybe?

Besides, I can thing of worse things to throw money at. VW's, Audi's, & boats to name a few.

I never been in one yet (AM), but a E31 would probably be kill my unreasonable desire for an Aston Martin. There's a car that has tranny issues & I think the repair bill **might** edge E31 parts. Just a little.

All I can say is I was close to buying one - and there's a reason some sell for 8k and others 30k - when the look the same and have the same amount of miles.

Women get upset when I throw money at them. apparently they prefer it gently placed.

Not always. Even if they are put away working 100%, you still get a chance of pulling it out not working. ;) Based on past storage history.

I was purely trying to keep the mis-nomer that they are GREAT cars from spreading and some poor sap buys one and thinks "Oh sweet, awesome looking GT BMW I can drive!" only to find out its a money pit of epic proportions. That's not to say they can't be fun, great, classy, enjoyable... just not "bullet proof" like a cheap e30.

FWIW, there is one sitting on a lot I drive past every day to work. It's been there for over 18 months....

Sigworthy. QFT.

I put a stop payment on the check....

[Turf1600]

Uh oh! what happened???

[Farbin Kaiber]

Someone get a wakeup call? Maybe he went to look at it and saw a $7,000 puddle?

[thectrlguy]

I was just fucking around.... with all the bashing going on.... Nope, the car is still coming.. and did I mention I got it for a bargain?

EDIT: Oh Yeah GOOOO BEARS!!!!

[Farbin Kaiber]

Don't say you didn't warn yourself...
