Drove another intersting car today (BMW 850Ci)

Got to bum around in a '97 12 banger.

Last year, the owner drove it in deep water and ruined the motor. Didn't want to settle with the insurance co, so bought a used motor. BMW dropped it in, turned out to be a bum V12. Owner STILL wanted to keep the car, so he bought a new V12, plus did major brake work. Total bill was $24K.

The interior iis mint, but the car has some deep scratches and rust bubbles around the sunroof. Probably would fetch low teens on the market. 60K miles...

The guy must have been in love with the beast. Lovely looking car, powerful, though not fast. Had Dinan badges, exhaust for sure-- dunno what else.

Looked like this, sans smoked turn lamps.
