I was driving a Chevy Beretta, but my roommate was nice enough to wreck that... And not give my anything for it... i'm not bitter, really... So I started looking for old 80's model Camaros, and found nothing in my range that was in any kind of decent condition. I knew i needed a car without too many miles, that would last me through a couple more years of college, and one day on the side of the road, I saw a bimmer that had a for sale sign on it. I figured i'd stop by just to see how far out of my price range it was. Everyone needs a good slap in the face sometimes, right? So it was a '90 7 series with 230K miles, and the owner was asking for $4500, with a copy of Blue Book's $7800 in the window. I started thinking to myself that a BMW will last forever (230K??

), and would also hold it's value reasonably well if I ever decided to resell it. I started looking online, cars.com and Ebay mostly, and found my 87 325 on EBay in DC, where I work, for 2 grand. I figured I'd be stupid NOT to buy it. Sure, it had problems, and still does, but they're systematically being remedied, and I'm in LOVE! :wub:
