    Sadly yea, trasfer case and front diff were bad on top of the slipping clutch. Ended up with a f10 and will be looking for a project e46 in the future

      Ah bummer. I probably would have bought it off you.

      535?

      what kind of E46 are you thinking? 330/M3?

        Well that took a quick left turn. Sorry to hear. Hope the next car is fun. The f10 is a great cruiser.

          528 but could not pass on the deal. 2016 with 22k miles for 22000

          I would love the 535 but I am ok with this knowing I will get a project soon. Looking for a 330

                I love the thought of a newer 328i (2.0t) but the N20 does not have a great reputation.

                    I feel personally attacked.

                    But yeah, I've been considering getting out of mine as I'm sure a turbo replacement is around the corner. It's a great car though for daily needs.

                        well looked at a 535 in the chicago area and that was not the one. Found another one that is space grey that I will be looking at this coming week so hopefully thats the one and I can be back in a n55. Good thing I couldnt find a 550 in awd otherwise I was very close to pulling the trigger on one haha

                                          It’s possible I’m thinking of a discussion held on a different platform. Went on for weeks back and forth about AWD vs RWD with snow tires. Think @suspenceful might have been spear heading it.
