I asked my dad if I could buy it off of him yesterday. He looked at me and scowled. I'll try again. But I appreciate the generosity.

LoL. Since my Mom traded in her Durango for a VW SUV (and will NOT allow a tow hitch lol), the LR2 has been the only vehicle with a tow bar in my family. Hence, I wake up a few mornings a week to my dad having "stolen" the Land Rover to deposit trees, branches, etc. at the county recycling center.

My dad was pretty much decided on a 3er or a GTI for his next car, but he's now seriously considering his own MY13 LR2.

Taking her in this week to have some minor stuff looked at, and the CDV removed. I also broke a window switch and now the whole thing needs to be replaced - trying to do that myself. The interior bits on the E9x, at least my year's, aren't that great.

Also going to ask him while I'm there how much it'd cost to do a 330i conversion. You apparently lose almost nothing in fuel economy.

Not sure you'll be able to do it yourself, with BMW's electric programming.

Also, I wouldn't want to take apart the interior of a modern high-end car. I think it would be tough to get back together right and without squeaks.

I don't think there's any coding, and apparently taking the side panel off in these cars is really easy. I might not even have a choice, though, because I'm thinking my indie is probably going to be able to get a better deal on the part than I am.

And scratches and cracks and broken fasteners and...

Especially in a newer BMW. 1/10. Would not attempt.

Might try just crazygluing the damn thing back together. Have nothing to lose. Otherwise looks like I'll have to go through my indie.

Your indie... rock band? Do you get off on not taking your BMW to the dealer?
