Default Picked up new BMW Convertible w/ Hard Top

So I flew down to Texas to add another BMW to my stable. She is a diamond in the rough. Got her for less than 1/2 market value with a hard top that alone is worth 1500-1800 making the car close to free

Needs a little bumper work, needs some mods and the interior cleaned up. Fun drive home and had 5 states to take photos in

My Alpine doesn't see winter because she rides on R Comps

Yep - 98 M3/4/5. I'm on bf.c and tdf as well. I had an Alpine M3/2/5 before the sedan and miss that car badly.
