Scottie,

Hey, yeah I didn't mean to sound like I hated my E28 or something, 'cause I love her(despite her purple color), and if I get a E34 in August(my goal), I'm not going to let my E28 go b/c 1)she's only worth about 2k(and that's how much I paid and it would not be worth all of the time I've put into her), and 2)I like her way too much to part with her, so my sister will get my Bimmer for a first car. You know how you mentioned the Bavarians not wanting to lock themselves out? Well, I almost did that last night b/c of my crazy trunk button depite my efforts to lube them--but that's okay, it's usually only in the winter b/c of the temp.

I'd love to put new wheels on my car(I have '14 from an 28e on now), get a new hood(previous owner used a sledge to close it b/c the shocks and hinges on the hood had probs, but there's only a average-to-minor dent)), get my car a new stereo, put in new speakers, add a sub-woofer, get a new front air dam(the one that's on there now is chipped and has a few dents), and even add some performance mods to it, but I'll never get the money back in return(cars aren't exactly good investments) and I'd rather save the money for an E34.
As to the original motor, I'm pretty sure that the original owner must've driven it like a mad man.

Still, I treat my 535i(which really isn't in that bad of shape--average for the age) like a queen.

-Mike
