BMW stands for "Blew my wad"

That's what my current daily driver has been for the last 4 years- an 88 BMW 535is. It's seriously possibly the best car that I've ever owned out of close to 40 cars. It was cheap, gets 25 MPG on the freeway, it handles incredibly with a few cheap suspension parts, has a/c that works, cruise and power everything that works. The brakes are very good and it has a limited slip for doing doughnuts and nice burnouts. :toothy10:

It's got 275,000 miles on it and no sign of stopping. Must be because it's a slant 6 also. 8)

I'd never own a BMW newer than this one though. After that model, they became more complex, harder and more expensive to work on and less reliable. And the interiors on newer ones fall apart! :wack:

My BMW after it was painted in 2008:

Good stuff. I have always been a fan of the 80's 5 series and the early 70's 2002 Tii's.
