I'm still in the market guys and would like some help from whomever will offer any. I have checked out a few in the immediate area and havent been thrilled but Im not deterred. This post will outline my preferences and their priority.

Years: Any will do
Trans: 6MT
Mileage: Less than 100k
Ext. Color: Not Imola
Int. Color: Not Grey
Body Style: 4 Door
Funds: Ready and Available
Budget: Prefer to stay under $13.5k - $13k
Location: Anything East Coast (I will fly out if necessary)

Priority: Service Records, and I'd feel more secure with a 100k mi. car to have the necessary preventative maintenance done.
Its a plus, not requirement, that it have few previous owners. ID love them to be enthusiast not a dealer who can't talk bmw with me.

Thanks for all the help so far, especially to Bruce, and please help! I want to join the family!
