I bought a 2002ti for under $2400 new, back when it was new. It's about
what it was worth, then...and now. All the high-end German family cars I
have looked at in recent years seem grossly overpriced and overly
complicated. You have to work pretty hard to find a mid-range vehicle that
offers more than the Japanese offer these days. Of course, if you have a
really short dick and are in desperate need of making sure people "notice*
you when you pull into the supermarket parking lot, a nice "7" series BMW
will do, for the two people in the parking lot who give a crap anymore
about that sort of stuff.

No offense to any current, past or future "overdone" BMW owners, of
course. *:)

I briefly owned an '01 *BMW 750iL. * Black on black, *no chrome, thick,
bullet resistant, dark tinted glass, 12 cylinder. *The car was absolutely a
dream to drive anywhere long distance, like to Florida and back, but
otherwise I rarely drove it.

I can honestly say I didn't buy it to be "noticed". * I bought it because I
liked it. *So, no offense taken.

Mrs.E. also briefly owned an '06 version of the 750iL. * Not anywhere as
nice as the '01. *It also had the infamous BMW "I-Drive" system that drove
both of us nuts. * What were they thinking?

I've pretty much gone full circle with automobiles. *Other than the Porsche,
which still does not cease to amaze me, there really isn't any car out
there, new or old, that captures my interest. * My little Ranger truck does
the job fine.

Even losing interest in the GTO and the old Ford convertible Galaxie.
