    LOL - I've actually had good experiences buying Illinois BMWs - both my blue and my black 335xi coupes came from Schaumberg, and both run great.

    The black one had 53k miles, and now 178k four years later. Might be because they're 2011MY with the N55 engine. The blue one I bought with 65k now has 67k two months later. I'm saving that one for when my daughter takes over the black one. 😕

    I could've, but we were strapped for time and I had a cashiers check printed in that dealership's name. I mostly wanted it for the price, but not with all the problems.

    I've had good luck with Chicago area cars, this was my first time going west. Schaumberg, Illinois is a pretty nice area, I would imagine that most people take care of their cars there. Back to the drawing board for me...

    Similar for me in Illinois.  I've had more good luck buying cars down there than in Wisconsin.  The last cars I bought or looked at in Wisconsin had "hidden" issues where as my 335i that I bought in Illinois was really as described and was a great price.

    Sorry to hear you had such a shitty experience.  Have you been hitting cars.com and autotrader.com?  I've had a lot of luck using those sites.

                        I'll take that u-bend if you're throwing it out.

                        I have a similar bucket with subframe mounting points and wheel arches in it. I was gonna make a joke FS ad called "e21 parts"

                                    A very stupid dream last night:

                                    It was Saturday October 14th at the start of the Devil's drive, about 150 people showed up and over half were lurkers of the 65 year old British roadster demographic (nothing wrong with that, just was unexpected) . Some dude had a megaphone and was ordering people around and told everyone to set off on the drive while I was in the crapper. TJ is with me, we try to catch up, he tells me my route is stupid and will take too long so he suggests a shortcut that sends us to Automotion where its chock full of FR-S bros doing the exact same drive route. The traffic, police, and stupidity were rampant.

                                    the end.

                                          Car is 1966, all the sites keep yelling at me about it not being 17 digits long. Not really sure if there is even a way to find the history on the car.
