Thanks for pointing me to this discussion its very interesting and illuminating, I'm going to spend more time going over each post but I didn't want you to think I was ignoring your help. What amazes me is that BMW (in europe?) recognizes the problem and tries to rectify it on an individual...

That makes sense and since I'm nearly 70 buying a coupe as an investment would only benefit my kids. I am surprised at the number of nice, low mileage coupes that are showing up with automatic transmissions. I've also heard the dual Vanos systems have some problems

That being the case what would your choice be between a z3 coupe of the 2.8 variety or a z3 M coupe. My impression of the z3 M roadster is that it has too much power for the chassis and without some serious suspension work can be a handful. If the coupe chassis/body is really 2.8 times stiffer...

I assume you and your father created some wonderful memories that you cherish. Now he has left you a gem of a car that will last you a lifetime and bring him to mind each time you enjoy it-while his passing is difficult his thoughtfulness in leaving this to you is breath taking, congratulations

I assume you had the problem of the diff to chassis welds breaking apart. From what I have been able to determine that's a fairly rare occurence and its very expensive and involved to repair. Are you aware of anything in particular that leads to this problem? If its engine related why don't...

Wow, I just saw your post about the car being a 2.8-thats wonderful, what a great opportunity. I've read that some of the engineers at BMW consider that engine to be one of BMW's best and I'm inclined to agree, they're just so smooth. At that mileage I'd sure be inclined to make the car a...

It would certainly be nice to see some photos of a car with 11k miles on it, too bad you had to acquire it thru such sad circumstances though I'm sure its going to another good home. I don't think that area gets a lot of snow (this winter being a possible exception) but if its been exposed to...

I've wondered about the "flat" finish in both the trunk and engine compartment too. We have a small repair shop in Oregon and I look at every BMW I've wondered about the "flat" finish in both the engine compartment and trunk too. I have a small repair shop in Portland, Oregon and I've looked...

Every time I see pictures like those of the rust ravaged (?) rear suspension I thank God that I live in an area where the roads are not salted during winter. I own a small auto repair shop and we see cars built in the 60's that are driven daily and rust is seldom an issue. We do a fair # of...
