You have to love this. I have been driving a 1996 tahoe with 166,000 miles holding off to get a new car so I can finish my 69. In a weak moment I bought the BMW 850ci. I have had this car for 2 months and someone just rear ended me. I am 41 years old and I have never had a vehicle hit. I am either due or this is some bad Karma from me getting another girlfriend instead of staying true to my 69.

In either case, world wide production of the 8 series from 1989 to 1998 is just under 50,000 units. How hard do you think it is going to be to get a new deck lid, bumper cover and fill panel...plus whatever else? New or used?

I see 3 long months and a slow ship coming from the "father land."

I am just thinking how pissed I would have been had that been my freshly completed 69.

I would have been typing this from the county jail.
