Sounds good Ray! Perhaps we can do an impromptu photo shoot with both M3s while you are up here :thumbsupQuote:

Ha Ha that's pretty funny! [emoji2]
Good and bad news.
As part of the process, CT requires that either a dealer or a certified technician certify that the airbag system (bags, controllers and sensors) is present and operational, even if there is no airbag deployment. Went to a dealer on the way and I figured out what was taking them so long... The scanned, no issues, but decided to replace the airbag under the recall despite not having a road worthy title or registration. Whee!
Back on the truck and head to DMV HQ for salvage inspection. FAILED. The car, mechanically speaking, is 100% (more on that below) but I was missing paperwork. CT DMV wants receipts for damn near every part replaced. Motherfucker. Digging through ebay and paypal to get that, plus I have a bunch of other worksheets, too. But, here's the kicker. CT DMV wants the a copy of the original insurance adjuster's report. Now, I have to find that in the bowels of Liberty Mutual. The car is home, resting comfortably, with no tags. Lazlo is sad.
And, getting some power steering whine. Need to figure that one out
The tech @ the BMW dealer stopped me as I was loading up the car and asked if I was selling it. "Dude, you can't even tell that this thing was hit. It's beautiful!"
And, the inspector at DMV even made mention that it was the cleanest salvage come in for quite some time. Asked if I was selling it... LOL.
Thankfully, since the car passed mechanically, all I have to do is run paperwork (when I get it) up to DMV and should be good to go.
Almost there, my friend ! :thumbsup
Wow what a PITA! Why so much BS DMV? Geez...
Damn. That's some serious hoops to hop through to get that thing road legal. Here's to it being as painless as it can be.
Honestly, since we don't have inspections, the amount of cars that don't belong on the road is mind boggling. I'm glad it's so strict on getting salvage cars registered; I'm scared to imagine what kind of garbage would end up on the road here if salvage registration was lax.Quote:
