Re: My reply to Dale's message. (archive)

Hi Dale,
Thanks for the note, you will love your 850 if you get one. However, your questions should really be put on the board at:
www.bimmer.ore/e31/messages .

The reason I say that is because there are many more people there that are much better qualified than I am in answering your requests, just ask them they'll all agree with that fact :-)

Also, and very important, there are probably several guys in your area that can give you good advice about the areas you seek to find a car in and how to properly go about it etc. Also, when using the board you get a broad range of experience and advice from every different angle and point of view, as the guys there are very accomodating and helpful. This bunch of guys truly love helping others, sort of a strange and wonderful twist of fate that has brought so many of the same type of people together in one place. Also, it may be an inherent trait in the gene makeup of those animals that must own an 8 series :-) They truly are animals :-)

So, I am going to post your request on the board if you don't mind as well as posting this very limited message in return. I'm sure you will then get some truly good information and some direction in the right area. Also, there is the search function of the Archives there that has a plethora of advice, all as good as the day it was first posted and left for posterior!
Good luck, Kdg

Gentleman of the 'Wild Bunch Weird 8 series society'!

I received the following e-mail from a reader of the board today as is posted as follows. He also sent an attachment that I (computer illiterate) could not open, so I am posting his message here and then I am posting my answer to him just below this. I hope others in his area with actual expertise can help him in his search for a car. Our group does seem to be growing by leaps and bounds.

designation indicative of. When did they stop making them... I am in
Cambridge MA, but want to buy one in Dallas... any suggestions for how I
might look... Dale
