didnt think to take any before we got underway... all i can tell you is its dark blue, has thick black bands around the outside of all the window glass, and they are about 1/2 an inch thick and the side ones are slightly hazy, and the obvious v12,,, some multi straight-spoke wheels, black leather,, and pull up privacy screens in the back sides and rear window.... thats the only things that stood out to me really...
didnt even open the center console,,, or anything... nor the trunk.... just tried to swap the dead battery under the back seat with one from my other car,, and fire it up.... we got underway later that same day.

it smells like fuel when i try to start it,,, and almost turned over once,, but otherwise sounds like a car turning over with no gas...

i ordered the tune up kit from Bavauto.com with 12 plugs two air filters, 2 fuel filters, an oil filter, and something else. Also opted for two new coils since these were coroded thru the thin plastic on top, two new plug wire looms, and pads and rotors all around, stainless lines, the chipset, and stainless tru-dual exhaust.
looking for wheels still,,,, never ordered them from BAVauto yet,,,, linda leaning towards bbs... always been a fan.

i wish we werent underway right now,,, id love to start it,, i remember when it ran last,, it sounded rough,, and read somewhere than the BMW limp home mode only fires it on 6 cylinders,,, maybe that would explain the roughness... then it sat for 5 months and now were here.

trying to figure out what suspension it has,,, BAV has two types,, some fancy EDFC or EDC thing, and then conventional strut spring setups.. i hope this thing is strut spring, since the bilsteins and factory spec springs on their sight arent outrageously priced.

love any info ya got on this seemingly wonderful new project of mine.
