Then Scott Miller reminded us that BMWNA did not import any 318i models (or 4cyl vehicles at all) in '86 and speculates that it might be a gray market model. In all the years I've been playing around with BMWs I've never herd of a gray market M10 E30 coming in to the US (I had a gray market E21 323i and a gray market E24 635i in college). Then Rob Levinson accused me of being a buzzkill when I pointed out that after Kirk's nephew runs the numbers that he probably won't actually end up saving any money at the end of the year with 4cyl BMW if he keeps his truck. In my original post I did add that a second car is "worth it if the second car makes you happy" and I've had some strange second (and third and even fourth) cars but I bought them because they made me happy not because they were smart investments or saved me money on gas (I was close to buying a '66 Alfa Duetto earlier this summer and I'm looking for a nice blue with tan interior Boxter S not for the mpg, but the fun right now.

Thanks for all the inputs! A couple of notes for the archives: 1. It is not a resistor pack, those are used in the switch type units (two dial units) in earlier or less automated cars sold in other markets. If your unit is digital, you use a Final Stage Unit (FSU). 2. The current part number is 64 11 692 540. Mine listed for $120 today, cost $90 with BMWCCA discount. It is made by Bosch Behr and is plastic and aluminum. Original unit was all aluminum and larger. 3. Bavarian Auto sells a less expensive unit made by Valeo that is dimensionally identical to the Bosch Behr unit except for the label on it. Although BavAuto shows the correct unit on their website complete with Bosch Behr label, the part number they supply is the Valeo unit. The Valeo unit is OE for E46 3 series, many 5 series, the X series SAVs, and the Z4 Roadsters. It electrically mates but long term robustness is unknown.

They will NOT fit the touring. The mounting brackets and hardware is included, so nothing more is required -- easy to retrofit your car. I will include a copy of the BMW retrofit instructions as well. You will also see a write-up on BMWE34.net. Headrests are black. Please send me an email privately for photos.

As a result I have the corner bumper trim (all four corners) and the rear bumper trim (the horizontal strip) for sale. All in nice shape, also includes all four side marker lights. Will fit ALL E34 cars, sedan & touring, all years. Please email me privately for photos and any questions you might have.

I do understand how tight both companies can be, and I know CF normally will not let you buy an unlimited plan except once every 6 or 12 months. So in some cases you could find yourself in the market for a car and be unable to legitimately purchase a report account. Now that there are two services to choose from, I would find this unlikely unless you are really a car dealer or curbstoner. I will admit I have had free reports run for me in the past and may have run a few for someone else in the past, but I think it is just "cheap" to not be willing to pay for the service if it is available to you. I am really amazed when someone asks for a report on a late model high end car, like an M5 or M3. If you can afford the car, you should have the $25-30 for some reports :-) Dennis On 8/15/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Stan, > > Please be aware that it is illegal and unethical for someone with a VIN > checking account (like carfax or whatever) to do this for you, and looks bad > for us to allow it using the UUC forum. > > Anyone else have an opinion on this (that may be different)? > > VR, > Andy, 'Mister Fixit' with the killer E28 tail light upgrades > -------------- Original message ---------------------- > From: "Stan Jackson Jr." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Anybody currently able to run free VIN history checks?
