I think you should live in the house you own! Put money up and invest! One day you will be rich and not have to worry anymore. Don't keep buying more, one day it may not be the bomb like it is today and you'll be happy you saved!

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

How do you know I haven't been saving? I have a house and a shop worth $120K paid off. All my credit cards are paid off. If things ever aren't "the bomb" I have a dealership, house, land, shop, tools, and cars all paid for in cash. I'm doing very very well.

Actually a lot of people prefer to have a manual top with those cars because the automatic convertible tops can become very problematic on German cars! I believe it was optional on that generation. A & M is a manual tip tronco mode. If you put it in M you can shift it manually with gears 1-3. A is for automatic

[@PeenMcTuggins]

yeah you can get over $1000 for that manual top conversion setup

[@bigcrowfly]

The tires you got are good. OHTSU tires are not Chinese tires made out of discarded plastic bottles. They are the low line tires made by the giant Japanese tire company Sumitomo group (that makes Falken), and is sold through discount vendors like Walmart.

[@markt5643]

That one looks like one worth keeping a bit and having some fun with. You get a lot of nice convertible weather in OK... You had your fun with the old Plymouth; I am sure more fun old cars will come along. That's the joy of what you do, you get to enjoy lots of different cars if only for a little while.

[@NoahClay6]

That is an amazing looking BMW! It even has the manuals which is pretty hard to find as well. Seriously going to miss seeing that Plymouth. Not many left like that one and they are becoming rare. Also the manual top on the BMW is much more better then a power one. Great video as always Randy.

[@rayshutsa6690]

The BMW 318 CI is a good deal the body and the interior looks in great shape. $860.00 is a great deal. You are still on a roll. I have always enjoyed the older vehicles Randy you are doing what is right for you a house is a priority congrats. 😀🔥🇨🇦

[@sleveille44]

These late BMW's are extremely sought after right now, good buy

[@Parknest]

Randy, I saw your other video first and I've commented there. I've had my own E36 318i nearly 3 years and I've built up quite a bit of E36 content on my own channel. The only work I had to do on the cooling system was to replace the thermostat. These cars are generally reliable and easy to work on unlike newer BMWs.

[@mds2465]

Btw Randy, if you have any specific BMW questions here’s a couple of very good resources for you. The first one is Erjon Karaj, who I’m sure you know from Hoovie’s garage as Jonny the car ninja of German Motorworks. He actually just recently started his own KZbin channel and it’s called Car Ninja in case you didn’t already know that. Another good BMW resource is Sreten and he also has a KZbin channel called M539 restorations which you may have also seen or heard of. He’s actually Serbian but he currently lives in Frankfurt Germany and he is an absolute riot to watch every time. He has a wide variety fleet of BMWs that he has resurrected and it’s getting bigger and bigger each time, and he knows a lot an those cars as well. So definitely reach out to them if you have any BMW or Mini Cooper related questions. I think there were a couple Rolls-Royce and Land Rovers that were also BMW products. I forget which ones specifically but they can probably tell you that as well if you’re ever in the market for any one of those. Hope that helps!

I had a 99 3-series sedan custom ordered NEW back in the days. Totally trimmed out, manual, RWD, adaptive headlights even back than. Car made it to the states and then the dealer came back demanding my Audi as a trade, PLUS 5K not disclosed when I put down my deposit. Upside, they loaned me another sedan for a month 'just because' and I sure *enjoyed* that during a MN winter.. HECK of a fun platform. I'd keep it around if it weren't for Winter coming soon.

[@UnderratedKillua]

In the e36 on the autos on the a and m switch, a means automatic so it shifts like a regular auto. M means manual and that's where you use 3 2 1 down from drive. Then you manually shift it but it actually acts as a manual, so if you left it in 2 on accident it will actually start in 2nd.

Randy, you are the channel, not the cars. Its reality TV. If it were about the cars Doug DeMuro would be the only car guy on KZbin. I am also self employed, and a few years ago when I bought the house I'd been renting for five years from the landlord, I had to go through hell. People have no idea how hard it is for the self employed to get a mortgage. They don't know that we pay 150% the taxes of everyone else, while only our net income is considered income by the bank. They don't understand that even if we've never paid a bill late, it's hard to get our credit score over 600. The Hellcat and the bike may not have been the best choices, but they were your choices and this is your channel. You do you brother, I'll keep watching.

[@deweywarner8010]

I have spent 40 odd years trash talking BMW's, but just bought a 94 325ci for a little fun car to keep at the cabin in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Most fun driving car I've had in years. Perfect for taking in the aspen before I left it behind for the winter and came back to Texas. Easy to work on, I put an all aluminum radiator in mine as the cooling system is their Achilles heel. Paid $3,000 more. Well done, sir. It looks like it has had repair to the front end. Night side views look as if the wheel liners are missing and the area around the wheels are illuminated. Could explain the air not working if the evaporator was damaged and not fixed, as well as the radiator being worked on. Enjoy it. I am thinking about getting another one. Have to sell the 05 VW Phaeton 4 seater first.

[@deweywarner8010]

Let me know how you make out on the windshield. Mine is not cracked, but pitted after 185,000 miles. Around $500 to replace, and I am worried about the surround rubber molding leaking afterwards if not also replaced. The plan was to get an inexpensive toy.
