nah, don't hate ya. Just wished you would have got the E34 540i. I liked those a bit better. No M5 though?

[takeone51]

yea i still have a soft spot in my heart for e30's .. i couldent turn down the deal on this one...

[FestYboy]

i say keep both, but you can't do that now....

... better yet, SELL the Bimmer (for more) and use the $ to build a new festy to rival or surpass Whitey!!!!


yeah, that's a much better idea.

^ I second this

You still have the Pride front end??

[Safety Guy]

If you liked BMWs so much, I would have suggested turning a Festiva into a "BMW 1002."

Or would that be a "BMW 121i ?"

Or maybe a "BMW 1800tii?"

Seriously, with the right front end and tail parts, a few BMW emblems, some BBS wheels with same, and a nice paint job and custom interior you could have 80 or 90% of the population convinced it was a Baby Bimmer.

(Actually, that's something I'd love to do some day, seeing as how I never had a 2002, though I took one--a '76?--on a test drive once and loved it.)

Oh right! I forgot who you bought it off of. My bad.

[eurotiva]

It is currently undergoing top secret surgery. Mercedestiva? Festibenz?

Tweak had a BMW roundel emblem on the hatch when I first got her! I also love beemers ( currently have a 76 oh!two and an e36 M3) but took the emblem off of her because Im proud of my little Ford. That's a beautiful 540!

Would trade my daughter's '93 325is for just about any Festiva.
