It wasn't me, I think there was a user from Newfoundland who bought a used 335i a few years ago that they had a lot of problems with. But that was an older model with the N54 twin turbo motor. This one has the N55 single turbo which is a lot more reliable. The 340i with its B58 is turning out to be reliable as well.

Supras are well beyond my budget these days...

With that mileage and stock, it's a near $50k USD car...

Who designed that rear wheel well, a blind amputee?

Marcello Gandini. One of the best designers of all time.

You may know his other works:
Alfa Romeo Montreal
Lamborghini Countach
Lamborghini Muira
Bugatti EB110
De Tomaso Pantera
Lamborghini Diablo
Lancia Stratos
Renault 5 Turbo
Alfa Romeo 33 Carabo (where he invented scissor doors)

That rear wheel arch is one of his signatures:

Those GMC RVs are too cool. I prefer the funky orange or green ones for that extra 70s vibe. They have to be one of the bigger fwd machines on the road.

Olds 455 for the win. I always thought that was a cool motorhome.

Needs to be converted to FI as that 455 gulps fuel.

Thinking we will be touring Canada in an RV upon retirement. 

What do you think?

Great idea! We've been talking about getting some sort of rv for next summer and doing a cross Canada tour.

I almost bought one of these when I was heavy into racing bikes.

I was looking at VW Rialtas a while ago.  BC seems to have the best choice of decent ones.

Rialta doesn't have the headroom, 5'10" from what I gather.

Price seems a little out there but cool car and colour. Lancia in the garage behind too.
