WHAT! Reserve? Crap on that.

So it's your sisters car? I don't get it.

It's my sister's car. Technically Tim posted the ad, but I wrote the copy.

Katie got an E46 with a stick (small engine though) for her birthday, which means its time for this one to move on down the road.

You already sound like a publisher...

OK, $211.22 and not a penny more.

I just lowered the reserve to $310 (I think, maybe $320).

Good luck, gentlemen.

I'd have no way to pick it up.

Edit: But I could get an antique tag for it here in MS.

long time to go, i don't expect to win, but a black on black e30 ragtop would be cool.

I guess Tom know's how bad I miss this car!!! Dammit...I'm 'watching' it know, and will be bidding unless if goes too much higher.

I've got to find a tilt wheel option though, that's the only thing that persuaded me to sell mine.

If tilting the wheel to a permanent lower position is acceptable, there is a pretty simple method. You have to drill out some "safety bolts" that affix the column to the frame under the dash. You then replace with longer bolts and spacers to desired position. I did it on mine a few years ago and it was a huge improvement.

e36 steering rack is also a huge improvement over the stocker.

Thanks Lof8, I wish I knew that a couple of years ago. A permanent lower position would be just fine for my intentions.

Four digits now. That's getting too deeply into the real money territory for me.
