I bought this car a couple weeks ago and have been delinquent in introducing myself. Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to register it yet but should get to it this week. Many thanks to Swordfish (Mike L) and Jimbo for their advice and inspiration that helped me get to this decision as well as Mike's making the road trip in his 500E to pick it up. It's a 200k mile car but it probably looks closer 50k thanks to the meticulous enthusiast previous owner who put a whopping $70k in upgrades and maintenance into the car on his 8 year watch. Upgrades include RENNTech CF intake, exhaust, and front swaybar, drilled rotors, H&R springs, KMAC camber plates, and BBS wheels (winter and summer set, plus OEM's).
This is being added to my collection of needy old German iron. It's only through forums like this and the help of others who have BTDT am I am to maintain and enjoy these great machines. I had a little heartache about taking on yet another old car, and in this case a higher mileage one, to shoulder a portion of daily driver duties, but the reputation of the model, the passion of the owners and the well documented maintainance and condition of the car got me over the hump.
I look forward to talking and hopefully meeting some you boys. If you are ever in CT, look me up.
