This is so true! Folks who waited through a cold winter because their low compression engine wouldn't start reliably in the winter suddenly see a chance to unload come warmer temperatures. For a while I was considering selling my 240D, and I was thinking of waiting until winter just to weed out the POS crowd - even before the engine swap mine was starting fine down below freezing (not selling it now, I love having a W123!).
