Re: Over 200K miles?/e30 FS/looking for E28

    Rick;
         You don't mention what you're asking for your 325eta car.190K on an 
eta engine is quite alot compared to the 535i's 200/300k lifetime 
possibilities,and it sure will scare some people.
         On an E28 535i/535is replacement,there are several good cars 
reasonably priced for sale in different parts of the country right now,some 
on the   www.bimmer.org  E28 board,others through other venues.Right now I 
may be able to point you to ones from Fla. to Tx. to Oregon if you want to 
e-mail me back.
