    I just picked up another E28. Gunna be the winter beater for a bit, then it's getting torn apart in spring and parted out.

                                Thank you sir.  It has never left me stranded.  Ever.  A/C compressor converted to air compressor, can air up tires or even run an impact.  Hope to convert it to CNG at some point to make it cheaper to operate, on a good day it gets 12mpg.

                                    Lol, have fun changing plugs. In all seriousness though. I am a diehard Subaru fan. STi's only though. or Legacty GT's. Nice rex-wago though!

                                      Yea I'm definitely not a big subaru fan, but I wasn't going to sacrifice a BMW to the rust gods, and I found this bugger and the price was on point. I would pull the motor before I changed the fucking plugs... Also, This bitch was completely bone stock, dealer maintained, and one owner. 129k on it. 2002.
