    Hey guys finally found the time to get registered here and make a post. my name is Joe, i've been through a couple BMW's but finally am in something i plan to stick with for a while.

    i started out with a 97 m3 coupe. 5 speed. techno violet with dove vaders. 17in gunmetal oz racing superleggerras. got in trouble with debt, sold it and moved into a 1990 e34 535i 5 speed. black on tan. it was a very clean car with little rust but just needed some love. a few months into my ownership of the car i got an email from a previous, previous, previous owner who informed me that the miles weren't accurate. the ~120k i thought was actually a lot closer to 300k. victim of a cluster swap i ended up with a blown headgasket and major cooling system failure. I sold my soul, bought a horrible honda and focused on motorcycles for a while. finally saved up, ditched the bike recently purchased a 1999 bmw 540i 6 speed. black on black. I'll probably start a build/update thread for my e39 soon, but heres my history. enjoy!

                      not sure what you're talking about. i've had 4 legitimate offers so far. 2 people are planning to meet this weekend, one person decided he didn't want to drive here from rochester, and the other guy didn't have a good enough offer.

                        I'm talkin about the fact that you locked in a deal with my guy and we were supposed to come get the wheels 2 different times and you jagged him around trying to up your price on a deal you allready agreed on. Thats no way to do business. Espcially with another enthusiasit. Thats B.S. for real!!

                          Assuming he is the one who didn't have a good enough offer?

                          I believe there may have been a misunderstanding here. Anyways this is something that should be handled in PM's instead of airing dirty laundry on the forum.

                          I just don't want to see a new member, who seems like a nice guy, be driven away over something so childish ;)

                            The offer was good enough for him to agree on and set up to pick them up. But it is what it is.
