I see the m33

do you even BMW?
It was sapphire black M4 competition package.

Which some dude came to check out on an S5, that had white wheels, limo tint and no mufflers. He also looked like Pauly D from Jersey Shore.

I don't think he liked the "payment" as he proceeded to leave rather quickly.
In case you don't know who pauly D is.

Crown Vic update.
1. looks like the intake manifold cross over is a bit moist (happy womenz day) these manifolds last around 120-150k miles and since they are plastic they all leak eventually. The part is cheap $99, but the labor is "annoying". I have done this job twice already and don't really want to do it again.
2. The right rear tire keeps losing air (actually these tires are new (5k miles)) but it is a two hour trip to americas tire for them to fuck it all up.
3. the valve covers are "moist" also, they have been for a good 100k miles but it looks like it may start to drip onto the exhaust manifold, yes only 1-2 drops over night but still annoying. Ain't no way in hell I am fixing that though.
4. The car is on the same trans fluid for 45k miles, I normally change it every 30-35k, but I didn't think it would last that long, it is certainly going to be due at 400k... (in 8k) I don't know if I want to deal with 11.5 quarts of fluid and 17 bolts.
5. I ordered front brake pads OEM for $25... I guess I'll throw those on as these have 90k miles on them.
6. I am going to do an Oil change tonight

Overall, this car needs time and I am increasingly lazy when it comes to working on it...

Scrap value is likely higher. Or sell to a junkyard. Taxi drivers will pillage it.

I don't think it has many usable parts left on it. Actually the tires on it are worth 2x what the car is worth
Who in their right mind would pull a 400k mile engine or tranny. I suppose the accessories are ok, alternator is newish as is the waterpump.

When its time comes, just donate it and take the tax write off. You can even part out the decent bits first.

I think they only allow KBB. So it'll be a $172 tax write off

More fun facts...

The has 80+ Used and CPO vehicles on the lot. Mine is the ONLY 335i, didn't see any other BMW with a big engine (Non M).

Anyone want to take guesses on the list price. I haven't seen it go up yet... but the pay "off" was $38,500

You should back out of the M3 deal and rebuy your 335. Next level placing

That’s not next level he actually re-bought his gti after trading it in.
Do you even bro

[max225]

Did an oil change on the crown Vic last night... I am fairly sure it may have been the last one it’ll ever get. I noticed a bit of engine noise as of late and it sounds like it may have a worn timing chain guide as it sounds a bit “ticky”. Old cars rock.

I wonder if it’ll crack 400

[max225]

As another side note, I have not been "stranded" by a car issue since my C5 rear leaf spring bolt failed about 7 years ago... and I have never driven a vehicle into the ground... this is going to be interesting.
