Damn! I received a partial phone message from someone wanting to get some information from me. He got my name from Friends of BMW and I don't know...
My wife offered to sell her almost new Rav 4 and use the iX so that I can keep the 540 but that's just not a practical solution. Great wife.
Thanks for the congratulations. I'll see how it works out. I so love that 540 but I just can't justify keeping it and I am having fun building the...
I'm selling the best car I've ever owned although I hate to do it but I'm retiring and it's time to cut back. In my opinion it's the best 5 BMW has...

Welcome. Your going to have a lot of fun working on your E30. They are great to learn on. Fairly simple and straight forward. If I were going to...
