Default My new toy!!!!!!! Pics!!
[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]I know that some of you have strong anti- BMW sentiment....well, I am just a lover of rare speedsters...that are within my price range....

As far as ,the SC is concerned.......I have decided to get the car fixed...if, it is not totalled by the insurance folks...

SC400 VS 840CI..... Folks, I am a Euro Lover........but, honestly the 400 out-performs the 840...

The 840ci is a good ride....whereas, the 400 is a perfect ride....

At high speed the 840 feels more stable......nevertheless....I wholeheartedly agree, that the Lexus is a better product....

I WILL keep you folks posted about the 400....later!!!

This one of the greatest cars of the 90's along with the SC. You really can't go wrong with it.

It looks awesome and Calypso red is one of my favorite colors on the 8 series BMW's too. Keep us updated on any issues with it. I've always wanted to get one.

I personally hate BMW's, having done lots of work to them over the years.

I cant imagine owning a 90's BMW at this point. SERIOUS DRAMA with them IMO.

Have fun, hope your luck is better.

How can anyone hate BMW's? They are one of the best built car's on the road. IMO..

I guess when you work on them alot, any car can be a pain after awhile.

Ive owned and driven more than I care to recall. And having worked on them for a long time, I can tell you... They ARE NOT the best built cars on the road.

Have fun changing the head gasket because IT WILL go on you....the 90's BMW v8s were notorious. I would of just gotten a 740il for a grand or two, same engine same everything and about 300 lbs lighter.

I hope you didn't pay too much for it...How much did you pay?
