I saw one of these in the flesh today. 35k looks to get you a 4.6 V8 300+ HP whole lot of car goodness. Just remove the bagging and you would swear it is a 5 or 7 BMW or an S class MB. I think they have a winner here. I have to get down and test drive one of these.
Looks better than the 5 and 7 series

Whine, whine, whine. It's a cheap car that goes like stink for the boat that it is. Also it's 14's, not 15's. And it handles a road course just fine thank you.

Did I mention the A/C will create ice stalactites from the headliner?
Excellent use of the word Stalactite, well played.

So, I know I said I was tiiiired of old BMWs... but a shop up the street from our office has an '88 E28 (5 Series) that I noticed a week or so ago. It's automatic and an eta, which might sound boring, but for running kids up and down the highway to school, might be genius. Best part? It has less than 35,000 original miles, still in the hands of the original owner--and looks it. (Nearly flawless orig. Fjord Blue paint and tan leather interior.) He "might" want to sell it. I "might" want it. I mean, for maybe $2500 tops and the Rennie Factor, I'd be crazy not to, yes?

I suppose so, but even if it's not a Volvo wagon, I still think it needs an LS1

Why not a Mercedes diesel wagon? Late 90's early 00's?
I loves me some Battlewagens.

I'd love it. But I don't think I'm going to find a clean one for $2500.

We found a ~1996 with a salvage title for $2900.00 a month ago. It needed a stereo.

Well, even with an eta/sludgebox...it'll still handle like an E28. Call it "methadone" for spending so much time in the E30, and perhaps you can talk yourself into it. Price/condition sounds great, although as an (unwilling) ex-BMW guy, I gotta tell ya-the eta is the reason it's so cheap.
And after reading your magazine for more than 20yrs, I must admit that the "Rennie Factor" seems to work out well for y'all.
