My 92 4Runner is still going strong, though the Ohio salt is taking it's toll.
I may need to look for a "new " one.
Maybe splurge and get a ...1998-99?

My BIL is a BMW nut. Always has been. He has about 12-15 at any one time.
Maybe 3-4 that run.
I've never seen any car that requires SO many special tools to do a routine repair.

The electronics are nightmares.
He told me last night, he is buying yet another electronic diagnostic laptop for aboy $800
His step daughter's 325 won't start!
Fun cars to drive. I raced them on and off over the years.

Great tourque but I would NEVER recomend them one unless you are prepared to spend big $$$ for service, often.
