I am about to buy an E36 in Joplin, Missouri 64804 and I am in South Texas so, I am looking for help from a fellow BF.com member living in MO to do a quick inspection and possible to test drive the vehicle before I pull the plunge!

Any one available?

Drinks will be on my tab when I get there!! :alright:buttrock

I lived there for 9 mos... not going back.

THANK YOU!
I hope someone is STILL living there.

Keep-up! Thanks.



:( No one in BF.com living there?

the closest person i know is @3hrs from there. My next choice is 6hrs.

You might have to just fly up and buy it..

Me and my brother have done that in the past.

Yeap... did that with my son's E30. This time thought, I must inspect the car before hand due to a few current issues with the car.

Worst case scenario I will be searching online for a local mechanic and hope he is good and trust he is not friend's of the seller... :)

i live about 3 hours north. was there a couple weeks ago; should've caught me then.... :)

how far is joplin from st louis?

joplin is in the southwest corner of the state
5-6 hours from stl?

yep STL is @6hrs away.

Springfield, MO folks might be able to help.....
I don't know of any shops in the Joplin area; however, if you can't find a local and can convince the seller to go about an hour away - Springfield is home to an excellent shop - Import Specialists....

Thanks... do you live in Springfield? Perhaps you can help me also once the car is in Springfield?

Do you know how much is 1 hour of labor with that mechanic... better yet, do you know how much does he charges for a through-out inspection? Perhaps I can call him... do you have a phone number?


THANK YOU GUYS... it seems that I am getting somewhere. I knew I could count on BF.com.

Hmmm... any one else? in case the current owner is not willing to drive the car for an hour...

i have a freind in joplin, mo.. i hit him up on another forum and im just waiting for him to get back to me.. as soon as i get his email address il ship it to ya

Hit up darkschnitzer in teh e34 section.

His name is Vinny, you could find him easily by searching Vinny in the e34 section. He lives in Springfield and would be someone I would have look at a car for me in that area.

Thanks for your time... (searching right now!)

I hope he is willing to help as I never received an answer from the other offer. The car is still available so I still have a chance!

Sorry to sidetrack, but what kind of springs or coils were on your 95?
