Darn. I sold my 240D (sans transmission and starter) for $200. I even included a working auto trans out of my '83.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

That one is expensive because ...as he lists it.... it was a Turbo 240d....very rare table.

I remember a block was used like that on topgear, I think it was a V12 though.
