    You work hard, discover that success is not a destination but rather a road you travel upon- mostly up hill. Then, after a while, people going down the other road look up at you, and they call you "lucky."

    Impressive. I sold my 98 e38 last year with 168,000 miles on it. It was getting to be to much. Still had the original engine and transmission fluid though! Always silky smooth.

    Mine rolled just to 70k. My olds 88 hit 57k yesterday.

    It is. I think they are fine cars.. I actually think the 95 is among the best of the pre-facelift cars. I was a) giving Tyler (OP) a hard time and b) making a social comment on the recent '95 bashing going on in the forum. Nothing serious here, move along, move along.....

    Actually a 95 will be best for that... if you have a 96+ you have to worry about passing OBD2 emissions... With a 95 all you have to worry about is tailpipe and that should be fine if the car is running right.
