You might place in a cruise night on irony alone...

My bimmer is scheduled for some pretty serious work in about a month. It’s leaking oil around the timing cover. Normally I’d do it myself but I’m so busy I’m going to take it to the local independent BMW shop. The funny thing about old BMWs is how utilitarian they are. Mine is a top of the line 5 series which was considered the primo yuppie sedan back in the day, but it has almost zero bells and whistles. Cruise control, a trip computer, intermittent wipers and anti-lock brakes and that’s about it — stuff that’s standard on any Altima or Accord nowadays.

LOL..I might! That would be funny! I can start a trophy collection! When you think about it, this car could become *more* valuable as years tick by. Nice to have reliable transportation that doesn't depreciate.

Guys who know cars, can't believe how easy this engine is going to be to work on. Lee Iacocca was right.
