Thanks, Rich. Turns out it's in western Washington. I'm waiting for more
information on it, now. It's not a 2002, however. It's a 2000 (4 door
sedan). My plan was to fly out to LA, the first weekend of March, for the
Porsche 356 literature & parts swap meet, score a clean 2002 and drive it
back to PA. I'll probably stick to that plan, but the old 4 door, 4
cylinder BMWs are really good cars, if a bit funky-looking. Also, although
mechanical bits are readily available for them, sheet metal is pretty much
"unobtanium" over here.
