The car market is trashed and its just getting worse, sell it now while you can still get something for it!

I actually like my old e28 and its fun to drive but I like the idea of having lockers more plus the car needs a top end rebuild so its just another project

I'm not bashing them, I actually thought about buying a little convertible at one time, I like BMW's.....Like I said I'm half German and to insult them would be like insulting my family, besides that my husband is full German, they do make great cars.......around here where I live it's just the yuppies that have them though and they turn there noses up at Jeeps and I don't like that.

Do the front if you have a 35 in the rear. Swap in a Beefier axle before you lock it or you will regret it. I spent over a grand gearing and locking the rear in my old Jeep only to yank it out and put in a 44 a month later...
