....you may have the rare ability, patience and resources to rebuild a tired, broke BMW. You are 1 in a 100. My advice to trash an old bomb was addressed to a seeming average new owner. My experience with the newer product tells me BMW is in trouble and the old quality is not there. I recently talked to an experienced pilot who knows cockpits, in his opinion the BMW cockpit is atrocious design, confusing, unfriendly and dangerous. My 2008, 535 was all those things. To each your own...
