My POS....huge oil leak. Still able to get me the few km's to work and back but that's about all she's good for now. Rather than spend the money to fix her up, I'm saving for a new (used) vehicle instead...perhaps after tax return shows up.

On her last legs...soon to be retired. A shame, this is one of my favorite body styles. They were ahead of their time as far as styling goes IMHO....

1990 520i w/M20 engine...

EDIT: ughh zenfolio not working,,,,attached it instead at 41kb :(

1990? M20? Nearing the end of it's life?! You're out of your mind. That thing is a tank... and will continue for another 10 years without busting a sweat.

:D I knew I'd be scolded soon for my 'end of life' comments lol :D

Yeah, I know she's tough...but the thing dies a lot, loses oil like something crazy...I got it for $750 so it's a tosser AFAIConcerned...

I just don't like dealing with fixing beaters...it's more fun for me to get a new beater :)

Dangit about the photo....zenfolio keeps doing this grrr...is there anything at all? even a red 'x'

Time for an E30 M5 maybe? ;)

I love that body style of BMW as well. A shame its legs are running out on you, as I am continually impressed when I see one drive past me here in Berlin. There is something to be said about keeping an older model car running properly for so long.

And I viewed the photo in your album after clicking the link in your signature
