yes sir, I've had the car about 6 months, and maybe driven it 1k miles.
1994 build date, 156k miles, original paint and all.
And EVERYTHING, works everything. even the crummy 6 disc player. haha

...nice car. Wasn't this one for sale in Houston about a year ago?
Is the photoshoot for a magazine, or just for your own pleasure?
Welcome to the nuthouse!

Welcome to the nuthouse!
Bought this car from NXCESS in the Galleria Area.
The photoshoot was a collaboration of a local detailer and photographer.
Basically, I allowed the detailer to clean my car, and we payed the photographer for the shoot to showcase his work.

Have you done any maintenance thus far?

Cheers

I'd like to keep the wheels, and drop it about an inch.
As for maintenece, the dealer told me a BMW tech traded in the car and that the waterpump and cooling assembly has already been replaced.
I did have a hose fiasco a while back .... if yall check my threads, greatwhite actually helped and chimed in.
I sent my car to an indi to have it looked over and they said she seems pretty sound.
Only issues thus far, is I suspect an intake leak, or exhuast leak.
A minor tapping/clicking in the lower engine during idle on the passenger side.
And a temperamental, whine from the rear from time to time, almost sounds like if the tire is rubbing with a the rubber fender lining, high pitched.
