Well it was time for the oil change on the 325, had one click left on the service light for a couple weeks. Had to rotate the tires also, Miss Becky seems to be turning a little fast :eek  and burning off the outer edges of the fronts.

So I'm putting in the fresh oil and put in 5, and ck it, 6 and ck it, 7 and ck it. F'n thing takes dam near 8 qts of oil :eek @4 bucks a quart :rolleyes  

Then had to reset the service lights and that wasn't so bad to a couple of trys and some research.  This is the diagnostic service port that is set up for a 70 dollar special tool. :)

Did BMW ever make any cars that are considered classics today?
My dad had the early 2002 and 2002 tii (mod numbers not year) and swore they handled better than the Porsche of the day.

They ran very hot so he developed an improved cooling kit that he sold at car meets.
Did cars like the Bavaria ever become collectables?

The CS couple models in that era are worth some dough, especially the CSi and particularly the CSiL versions.
2002's were the cult cars that started rolling the whole thing for BMW.
