be sure to tell the new owner of your 93 about BC
and you stick around.

Yes, the 93 SSEi is in excellent condition, I believe the only issues I have with it are that some of the steering wheel controls aren't very effective, the suspension is not as tight as it used to be, although still pretty good, it seems slightly noiser than when I got the car over four years ago. And the lumbar compressor is intermittent, I may get one from Kennginn if I can get my butt over there.

The 540i is a 1999. I would call it near-mint condition. So who else got one too, huh Jim?

I'll get some pictures up of both soon.

Atleast you got a BMW while they still looked good. This new design is not a favorite of mine at all.

Congrats on the Bimmer. I hope to join my brother and you in Bimmer-ownership in the next year or two (I'll probably end up with something like a 328 or possibly a 330Ci (don't think I'll be able to afford a 1999 5-series for another 10-15 years).
And By all means, Jim, who got the other 540? Do tell.

I want it. I want it. I WANT it. Oh, did I say I want that car.
Love that silver.

PS. What are you looking to get for the HID'* from the B-ville?
