^Sounds like a great way to spend $10k. Would be a fun truck though. LoL @ BMW v8's being junk. Over complicated, yes. High maintenance, maybe. Junk... No. With a few exceptions of course. N63 rod bearing issues come to mind.

Kablammo, bdc101 was being sarcastic I think. Just sell to JY for that $750 or put on CL or FB marketplace for a bit more money but more time investment. Not worth doing guides on it unless you are just in love with the truck.
