This was a great tip, Andrew. So far, I've been smitten with 2 of the 3-series BMWs. VIN research revealed that one had been wrecked, and 1 had been a rental for 2 years. Needless to say, I dropped those puppies fast!

And, with a bit more research, I'm now inclined to believe the 323 may be a bit underpowered for my purposes, so I'm looking at the 325, 328, or 330 also. So ... anybody else has tips, I'll sure appreciate them.
