Ive been offered a 1996 BMW 520i with 108k on the odo in trade for my
old Mazda/Ranger 3.0

Supposedly..there is an "issue" with the tranny linkage. The engine is
supposed to run fine. Ive not seen it as of yet.

Just wondering what you folks think about that particular vehicle and
how desirable it is. My wifes 1997 Saturn now has 254,000 miles on
it

You don't have a wife:

Ive had to take care of a sickly ex wife, my own expenses and Im
feeding and sheltering another couple who lost their jobs and
their home 18 months ago. I managed to take care of some issues
she had, and get him graduated (Saturday) from the England truck
driving school, so with a bit of luck, he will be paying me back
and she will be finding a job.

What..you missed that she came back..and brought my son, the daugther
in law and the 3 kids? The third one was born last Tuesday

You just got free on that pesky pysch hold again?
