I don't mind the Jag so much... but she's not into them... FWIW, she is REALLY on the warpath for one now... bugging the crap out of me...

Not what we're looking for (she wants an 840 auto - long story), but this car looks too cheap:

^check out bimmer forums on the 7&8 series classifieds. The cars there are taken care of for the most part and there are some values to had too!

We'll probably do a lot more serious searching when the time comes. Right now, one or two cars would have to go first to clear garage space and budget room.

You can get by with one MegaSquirt on these in place of the two Motronics - there's a dual distributor mode written specifically for this type of ignition.

8 series are beautiful looking cars and quite possibly one of the scariest to contemplate owning $$ wise.
