When I was looking at a '92 525iT I went to the site, listed below, a bit, it is pretty good. I stalked the car, putting a note on it two years ago, asking the owner to call me when he was ready to sell it. He actually did!

The car looked and drove great!

However, upon dealer evaluationit needed $2400 in parts, and $4000 in labor.

In any exent, I probably would have purchased it because I probably could have coped with it for a couple of grand in parts, and some tender loving care.

However, 2 months before he called me, we found and purchased a '96 855R in great shape, so I could not bite.

I guess that the expensive ride that you know is probably better than the expensive ride that you don't know.
