OT: Expensive bmw parts?

[rept@qwest.net (rept)]

Ah...Jason......

Not as bad as Porsche!   :^)

Saw your ride outside the investment place earlier this week-   still 
havnt sold it?    Also spoted a very recent convertable model (blue) in 
town today........nice but not as aggressive looking.

Sorry for the OT.
