Extremely tempting 540i
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...g=1&cardist=19
I really wasn't in the market for a different car but this thing looks hotThe miles aren't bad and I don't think the price is terrible. He said over the phone he'd take $4500 but I don't know if he'd turn down 35 to 40 C notes. He said he is taking it to auction this week so I don't know what he's expecting to get there. I considered trading in my 1993 525i (black/black, auto, massive 16" bbs rk's
but @ 203k miles, I shouldn't expect any more than $1500...(uneducated guess, and I love my car way more than $1500. Sadly all the doors are begining to rust, suspension needs major attention, alignment needed, needs new center console, AC needs a yearly charge, r134 thankfully, rear windows no worky, original auto tranny seems pretty good *knock on wood*, replaced timing chain/tensioners, she needs some tlc!) I also notice he states its a 1994, but it has the wider grills? hmmm so so so tempting. Talk me into/out of it! How do I loose the mental attachment to my baby?

That looks very nice, but pictures are not close enough to see enough cosmetic detail... as far as mechanics go, Jeff makes a good point, but you are also well past the 100k mile mark where everything falls apart, so fortune should be on your side. And yes, a '94 540i will have the better grill (wider

He said he will bring the car up on Monday for me to see before auction. I'll do the usual "this is broke, thats $100, this is worn out, wtf is this?" routine before I flash the dough. I told him "eh since your taking it to auction you must be having trouble getting rid of it?" and he said "a black 540i? heh no problem i've just had it for 2 weeks I have a thing for bmws..bla..bla.blaa" so who knows, a folder full of records sure would be nice. Thanks for the info guys
