God bless covid chip-shortages for covering my *ss with used car prices through the damn roof.
From there, bought a 996 Carrera 4s 6 speed coupe for 33k. sold the next month for 45k 
then got into an old range rover, built it out as an offroad truck & sold it. Got myself in a 3rd gen tacoma, built it out, and now trying to sell it.
In the meantime, i have re-entered the bmw family as a new owner of a f31 328d m-sport wagon, with all the fancy packages and under 100k miles, for $19k. With 55mpg on the highway and the way gas prices are, i am a very happy man
so luckily it all worked out. but sh*t, what a mess that B58 was....... |
Amazing.
Appreciate that you came back and let peps know the conclusion.
About the M240i you sold. Did you have to disclose that the motor was changed?
Did that turn up on the vehicle history report, since you went to the dealer with it initially?
