lots of cars
Dude, Why! ......

All I know is that i'll drive my car till it gives up. Even after that i'll use it for parts and it will still live on in the form of another w124. I have owned a e36 m3 bmw but i still kept my w124. Next car for me is a 2000 w210 e50 while still keeping the w124.

I don't think i've ever posted it but I still have a picture of it on my desk lmao...it was missing the impact strip because i was getting a new bumper...

95 e320...sold the rest
Albert, I've been thinking about selling mine too.

It's starting to get too costly with everything going wrong at once. I plan on selling it in the next couple of months (before summer) for a 2004 Audi S4.

Something like this...

I have seen this phenomenon many many times on the forums over the years... Somebody puts tons of time and money into modding a car and sells it right when it's done... The owner doesn't even spend much time enjoying the fruits of his labor before selling.

Part of me can't relate with that mentality. But the other part of me recognizes that the enjoyment owners get from personalizing their cars comes from the process rather than the result.

Lol, that's my deep insight for the day! Sad to see the car go Albert... but I'm sure you'll enjoy the next car.

What happened to the old school BMW idea?

Neither are 25k, E55's (w210) can be picked up for 11-15k now. C36's can be had for 5-7k

Ack!!!! Albert!

You and your car were a big part of this forum.

Where will we ever find another like you?

Who will be a worthy rival for Zorro, now???

I foresee "Terminator sightings" on here, in the future

Waiting to see the new project, now

Best of luck
