This old girls got 289.000 miles on the odometer and still rips ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ the paint is bad, the leather seats are torn, it has some electrical gremlins.. but the 3.0 liter V8 sings above 4 grand and it handles like a dream. Itโ€™s easy to work on and has never left me stranded (โ€ฆyet) ๐Ÿ™

She's gorgeous. I've owned & worked a lot of BMWs. I have such a love hate relationship with them. The electrical stuff finally sent me over the edge. If I ever own another one, it's going to be completely rewired with a painless wiring harness & holley standalone ecu & dash.

When a Light Control Module (which shouldnt even be a thing) can suddenly quit & cost you $700 (for the part) to get your lights working again... I just can't with that. But every now & then I see a particularly nice e30, e34, e36, e39, or e46 that makes me want to go find another project. A good friend bought this one from my dad & is making it pretty crazy ๐Ÿ˜

Nice I had a 2003 E39 530i Msport Touring in silver. Only car I ever regretted selling. Lots of electrics to go wrong but a dream to drive.

Currently got a 2006 Discovery with 380k miles on the clock which is a workhorse and a ticking time bomb for a big repair.

Sick! the P38 Range Rover is one of my all time favorite designs. One day when I have the time energy and money to LS swap one i might pull the trigger ha

Excellent taste ser ๐Ÿ‘Œ but youโ€™re spot on with the love hate bit. This is what goes through my head pretty much every time I get behind the wheel ha:
