As flattered as I am that flipping a car is now known as a "onewhippedpuppy" , I try and avoid cars that will likely break in half or explode during my ownership. The bad thing about buying an old car with the intention of cleaning and selling is that you never know what you'll find. Once I find it, I don't feel right about not disclosing.

If you want a 2002, get a really sound one. Or go right to an original M3. Euro 635s are really nice, but only get an M6 if you are a fanatic. Many prefer them to the 911, but they are in between the 911 and the 928. A 635 stick is a great car.

it's a great time to be buying early 911s.

Did you say "Jew'ed"?

Rust is everything with these cars. I had many. If rusty, they fall apart like wet Kleenex. Good news is that BMW supports their vintage cars and has many parts still available.

I think it's actually a religious slur. Jewish is a religion. The only way you can get away with saying that is if you are Jewish yourself and kidding around with other Jewish people. Otherwise, someone is going to get real offended. (And rightly so).

The 2002 advice on this thread is solid. Probably a lot more solid than that car. There is no such thing as *minor* rust on those sleds. And only bone-dry, rust-free 2002s are worth anything. I'd take a Pasadena on that.

Feel free to say that you "catholic'd down" somebody in my presence, I won't be offended. Of course that might just mean that we went out and got drunk, I'm not sure.

Not trying to resurrect a 2000 yr. old+ war, but..."Jewish" ain't a religion, Judaism is. And the Jews are a tribe. So "Jewish" is both a religion and a people.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled (and non Anti-Semitic) BMW 2002 thread:

You are absolutely correct, I mis-typed there. Are you Jewish? Shalom. But what kind of name is Ocean?

He's Jewish on his mother's side. It's the only one that matters anyway.

Hi Folks, I'm really glad I clicked on this-I've always wanted a 2002 and found one roughly equivalent to the one in question, although it had low miles and was clean as a whistle. It was $2500 and had "a little rust"-I'm guessing it's one of those cars that once you see minimal rust you're in for big structural problems. True?
