<MISC> Buying Used BMW's in Germany

[Matthew Tremmel <tremmemm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am hoping some Digest members are located in Germany can help me
out...

It is becoming a real possibility that I will be moving to Germany for
about
15 months for work, starting in April.  This brings up a dilema with
respect
to my only recently founded BMW fetish.   My current car is a 1994 325is

with 36K miles.  I purchased it last May and have been having a complete
blast.
There are a bunch of options, with various pros and cons

1. Sell 325 and lease in Germany  (no more 325is that I love, lousy
lease options, lost lease money)
2. Store 325 and lease in Germany (car payment+lease payment)
3. Sell 325, buy in Germany, then sell in Germany (no more 325, but $$
to buy something else)

Option 3 is looking the best although I have not researched the lease
costs fully yet.
Some quick calcs show that I'll have about $15K to buy a car in Germany
with.

Does anyone what a decent used BMW (E30 325?) in Germany goes for?  I
will be living
in Mulheim a.d. Rhur (near Dusseldorf).  Any recommendations for
particular Bimmers to
look for?  I would want one that I could easily sell when I leave.

Also, this brings up the possibility that I will soon be selling my
325is.  If anyone is interested
(or might be in one or two months), let me know and I'll give you the
details.
