Hi Bimmerman,

I'm with you on the new generations of MB and BMWs. I had/have 73 2002, 78 530i, 90 525i, and 91 735i. I would not touch those V8 and V12s. Wife got a 98 C280 since new, drive by wire, etc etc covered up by engine cover, pretty much un-serviceable by mere mortals.

Last November, I bought a 83 300SD. It is now my daily driver after I got it up to snuff. Thanks for this wonder forum, it hav'nt seen any dealer or indy shop. With a turbo to play with, it is a lot of fun.
