Sad indeed. Perhaps not as sad as the 840 that another local BMWCCA member owns, though. He's inflicted a lot of his own "mods" to his car, and it looks awful. He even went so far as to cut louvers in the hood, etc. It looks like it was done with a hack saw and a pair of pliers... When we were at the BMWCCA car control clinic last April, one of the two batteries in his trunk was loose and was rolling all over the place inside his trunk, banging the heck out of everything :tsk:. Anyway, I've chatted with him once or twice, and apparently parts are insanely hard to come by, and crazy expensive when you do.
