I'm on the look out for another project that will take the spot of the Ladybug (318is).

It's a E34 530i in the ATL. Anyone care to scope it out for me?

Payment for time, fuel, and food/brew money along with MANY thanks!!

Let me know!

I'm no BMW expert, but I'd be glad to give it a gander. (what's good for the goose).

Maybe Maroon92 or somebody will come along for beers afterward.

Cool!! Sent you a PM Matt.

Duke . . . there are a few E34s in ATL. Hell, you guys gotta gold mine down there. It's just hard to get information about the car from the seller since they are either a douche or think ATL is only place they sell cars LOL!! It's like no one wants my money . . .

whats your price limit? I see a ton of E34s with autos, the autos that ALWAYS go bad... I usually find a good manual now and then...

Manual or auto . . .doesn't really matter. I have all the stuff to make it manual . The V8 cars will be a bit easier to deal with for what I have in mind

I have Google reader setup to search CL for E34s and Volvo 780s (at a $2K limit) from VA to FL and from as far west as TN.

Finding the car is easy . . . getting the seller to communicate is another story . . .

I would be glad to go, but I don't have any experience with BMW's either...

Thanks guys!! You don't need to be a BMW expert, that's the fun part.

I just need some pictures, a test drive, and overall impression of the car. You know, any leaking fluids, how the tires look, any suspension noises/vibrations, how does the trans shift, and/or any smoke . . .

Just the common stuff . . .

Cool - got it and replied. Just let me know if there's one in particular you want looked at and I'll post here when I plan to head over in case anybody else wants to join and then waste time afterward.

I've decided to get the Volvo 780 . . . thanks to all those that stepped up and offered to look at the E34 for me.

When I'm in ATL or at the Mitty, we should all meet up for some brew, my treat!!

If anyone is interested in the 530i 5pd that Matt was going to look at for me, let me know . . . it can be had for challenge monies. . .

Yeah, I will be there too. Hopefully I will remember more of it than 2010...

I'll be there this year. Unfortunately the Mitty always happens on my only nephew's birthday (his party is way down south). This year I'm going dagnabbit. Dirty looks from family be damned! I wish his parents would be cool enough to bring him. Maybe one day.
