Yeah, and it's back in the Roundel Classifieds again for December with the same picture, too. No price this time. At least he calls it a "5-speed" in his Roundel ad. -Phil ------------------------------ Date: 3 Dec 2004 16:31:32 -0000 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: It's baaaack...

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It makes me want to ask: If one were going to sink a bunch of money into a BMW restoration project, with ANY hope of recovering even a moderate fraction of the "investment", why would one choose that particular model? And if that didn't offend anyone, perhaps this will, although the comment was not mine... For some reason this car reminds me of a former manager here at work who drove a Bavaria well into the late '80s. (For all I know he still has it, but he no longer works here.) A cow-orker said, "He knew driving a BMW was cool, but he picked the wrong model." Well, at least he didn't sink a small fortune into restoring it, AFAIK.

The other half that make money do because you cheated some old lady out of a rare old car hidden in her garage after her husband died.

I have a question about Ebay. I'm currently the high bidder on a relisted bimmer on Ebay that didn't sell in first auction I think due to way too high reserve/buy it now price ($8500 for an '87 E28!!!!....not even a 535, it's an eta). Just found out the guy has it listed in 2 different ads! Is this legal???? What the h&ll is he going to do if someone does happen to reach his reserve in both auctions?

Oh yeah, a good way to make a little money is to start with a "classic" car and a lot of money. If I spent that much on restoring that thing, I would keep it. Maybe it would sell faster if he mentioned that this was the car that Biff was polishing for McFly in "Back to the Future". (If I remember right. No further discussion of BMWs in movies!) He might do even better if he had listed it in Ebay Motors and not under 'Antique Carpets' !! -One of the ugliest preBangle era BMWs IMHO ----------------------------- ===== [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://WWW.geocities.com/JohnKGallagher __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Nick, Roy, Carl, Jon, Michael, et al: My apologies if this is a duplicate post -- I don't believe my post yesterday made it to the digest. Thanks for all the responces, suggestions, and links. Our rental car will need to accomodate me, my wife, and two sons (we're all pretty small, but my wife's suitcases are not :) ) -- yet the car will need to navigate St. Malo, where I suspect the streets are rather narrow. I'm thinking about some kind of midsize touring. I had thought bigger and faster originally, but the rates just get a little absurd imo for anything *remotely* upscale. Anyway, I'll post back should I find anything interesting.

It's a procedure you'd use if you lost a remote and bought a new one and had to connect it to the alarm. I asked a follow up question about installing a new alarm, but never got an answer. What does the dealer do to code an alarm to a car? Are special tools really required, or is it just another pat-your-head-rub-your-stomach- while-jumping-up-and-down procedure? My car is a '98 M3 if that makes a difference. Thanks. ===== David Kroth [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - now with 250MB free storage.
