The classic bimmer contagion....pass it on

[Jim_75Sahara]

I've been corresponding a lot recently with my college roommate, Mike A. He'd mentioned that he wanted to get an E28 or E30 for his son. "Great, I'll help you." says me. Well, he just picked up an '84 Sapphire Blue 528e (5-speed) in the Atlanta area. I'd seen it on CL & I knew he could fly down there free since his wife is a United flight attendant... He talked the owner down on price and it's enroute to Ohio at 80 MPH. Get ready, Mike McCarthy, here it comes! ( a shameless plug for Foreign Car Svc. owned & operated by fellow '02 owner Mike McC. )

Excellent! I was afraid he was the guy who bought the 60k e30 out from under me...

Great!

The E-28's are a really nice car! I spent 5 days in one a couple weeks ago when I accompanied my buddy to SF to pick it up and drive it back.

The car, a 535is, was amazing. Ran like a top and handled really well on a rainy PCH1, not to mention the icy high sierra passes, especially for such a big car.

My buddy (who'd never been west of the Mississippi) says it was the trip of a lifetime!

Your buddy's really going to enjoy it!

Cheers!

Why is this posted in the '02 General Discussion forum? I don't see how it has anything to do with 02s.

vintage BMWs, and there's always interest in the travels and exploits of fellow '02 owners & their friends & acquintances that involve BMW's of the same general era.

Rationalize all you want....still belongs in the Off Topic forum. Also E28 is not from the same general era, its an 80s car.
