Jeff gets an 850, Zack scores a smokin' deal on a blown M30. I spend my morning in the cold looking at an overpriced E32 with a nikasil block in not particularly good shape in spite of low miles.
Last month I bought an E28 'cause it's got a stick, but they are so ugly I can't bring myself to drive it, so it's parked at a friends.
Someone out there has an E32 MANUAL with my name on it.

LMAO! I was kinda lookin for an 8 and stopped because to pay 15-20k for a problematic car is crazy. I just happened to pop on Ebay while waiting for a customers call back and surfed the 8 series cars and checked them all out. Thats when I saw it, 8500 buy it now...the rest is history.

Someone on this board surely can check it out for you to be sure it's roadworthy ahead of time so you can drive it home like a man not on a sissy trailer. " Hey, look on that flatbed, one of those rare Bimmer V-12 coupes, probably broken." or "WTF was that!!"
Your choice 'ole man.

most people mistake them for an old supra or probe.

Only BMW freaks recognize them right off.

Kinda like the M1 too, kids see one and think its an old Fiero, Lambo, or Ferrari.

Then the BMW badge hits them right between the eyes.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the E32, but I always thought it realllly looked a lot like a Probe in that teal color. it looks a lot like the color Ford used and if you just sorta take a fleeting glance an an E32 in the color....

I would prefer the WTF was that comment. site unseen from a seemingly honest seller is the greatest thrill when it arrives (if?) lol.

I just wonder if he under priced it because of the power steering pump issue or if he didnt check what they are going for. Most of the ones I have been looking at have obvious visual problems with no mention in the ad, thats something to stay away from in my eyes. an honest seller at 1/3 the price is pretty rare.

id step all over a e28 m5 but none of the others really blow my skirt up, i'll probably get a e34 540 with a stick if i find myself with the need for another 4 door car, unless a e34 m5 comes along at a deal then....
