    When I went to pick up my snows awhile back, he was cruising around in that.  Sweet car.  Congrats!

          I love it already!

          The last wagon I had was a 1978 Plymouth Volare.

          I loved that car,  225 slant six (much like the BMW inline 6, strong and had some torque)

          I am going sport one of these cruising around tomorrow :)

            Is this the one that was for sale in Menasha? I've seen one around, looked enthusiast-owned, but never had a chance to talk to the owner. Looks a lot nicer than a mini-van!

            No that's an e34

                Are those your boats?  Also, looking good.  Any plans for some wheels?

                    I guess they call them sport wagons when made. I still will call it a "touring"

                      :D

                      No plans other than to clean up some of the rust an keep it running. I have to focus more on getting my 535 running. I have not worked on it much lately and am regretting it.

                      It's going to be a whole new learning curve for me in respect to working on this beast. I am going to get a Bentley on it's way in a week or so. This manual is 2 volumes. Lots of good reading there  :)

                          What is the cheapest scan tool that works with the ABS for this car. I would like to be able to program driver options as well.

                            There are not too many options to program if I remember correctly.

                            PO of my car had the alarm chirp disabled, DRLs turned off and I think that's it. He works at a local BMW Dealership so it was nothing for him to get done.

                            Inpa (another one I can't remember) are supposed to be highly configurable and free to download I believe.

                            I haven't got around to doing it myself honestly.

                                  Did you just replace the button face or how much needs to be replaced?  I need to order the parts to fix my light up key for my e36.  It has been broken as long as I have owned it.

                                    Also curious. If you got a new key reprogramming them is easy if the car cooperates.

                                      I bought a set of these

                                      http://www.ebay.com/itm/261201404201

                                      I found a good write up on bimmerforums on how to do it. 

                                      I cut the fake led end off and had to trim the top button to clear the chip in the key. The battery does not need to be removed so I did not have to re-initialize the key. I am happy how the buttons turned out. The lock button would not work with the old worn buttons. When I do my other key I will post a few more pics on what I did.

                                          I did that on my e46 key, my buttons were smashed into the key and all kinds of sticky. New buttons FTW! If only my key battery would charge in my ignition... battery dies every few weeks.
