Bought the 4.4i new in 2002 and truthfully it’s been a very reliable car given how little love I’ve showed once out of warranty and until now. Ive kept almost all records, except for the years when my kids were flogging it and my plan was to donate it to NPR after they were done with her. Plans change.

Maybe I’ll do the math when I’m done with the overland project, but i seriously doubt Im upside down, even with the new motor, given that I bought it new and neglected it so completely for 7 or 8 years. Aside from lots of tires, brakes and other consumables, a full suspension redo and a remanufactured tranny have been the biggest purchases until now. BMW sprung for new heads under warranty years ago. I’m going to guess after 20 years I’m into the car for $25k at this point. Maybe $30k with the new motor.
