Sadly, i do not have the room.

Otherwise i'd be all about this thing.

As it is, i thought long and hard about selling the MX6 of Doom to get myself in this thing.

Local BMW fanboy told me with a new turbo it should be making WELL over 300whp.

I believe that was for sale in Columbus a year or two ago with similar problems. Unless there are two BMW swapped Starquests in the area .

What's with the not responding to "Is it still available?"

I'm guessing he's one of the people that uses Craigslist as it's intended to be used.

As in, as long as the ad is up, the car is still there.

I can honestly not think of a more useless swap. Just think, half of the performance potential of what he removed with twice the maintenance cost. What a bargain!
