That is one of my favorite cars. A local car flipper had an early 90's that was supposed to be in good condition and gave me the $8K today and its yours line but after seeing what people dump into 750Il's it was an easy thanks but no thanks.

The CSI's are cool. Rare and still expensive. Usually $35-45K. Service guy told me most of them are beat up.
