Bill Blass grew up in my home town and was friend's with one of my good friend's dad.  When he would come back for a visit he would sometimes stay with my friend's family. --FT On 10/14/21 1:08 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes wrote: Seems way too cheap.

Other potential issues too. I know a fellow who had a gas version that looked like that. Not certain of the year. His car developed problems with the ABS brake system and parts for it were almost unobtainable. I think they finally found used parts and patched it up so that he could sell it.

Must be. Otherwise that car would sell for $15k. On Thu, Oct 14, 2021 at 1:20 PM dan penoff.com via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I wonder if that’s the same BMW Diesel engine that had head problems from > that time frame? > > -D > > > On Oct 14, 2021, at 10:09 AM, Andrew
