Fun times though. A lot of times cars with problems have their problems greatly exaggerated... other times... people just get lucky.

$3800 into redoing a bunch of stuff that did not need to be done, loads of preventive maintenance. The goal was to make it a flawless car for whoever buys it to ask top dollar for the car.
The 335 broke the first day due to a leaky oil filter housing. Cheap easy repair and it ran flawless until i sold it a year later.
The 48k I am into the 750 for is on a full restoration literally everything is brand new oem, interior, exterior and mechanically. Its almost like a brand new car at this point. Rare parts for these cars are not cheap either, i just spent a small fortune on a set of tables, genuine alpina 21” rims with pilot supersports, the oem fridge for the rear and a rare inlaid wood set.
So, yes! Fun times is correct. My bmw ownership has been amazing all repairs are done by me, I learn something new every time something goes wrong which is less often than most would imagine.
