There is a local fella who has 2 diesel BMWs and the Vixen (BMW diesel)
motorhome in the parking lot of the bait and tackle shop he runs in town. I
have never seen any of them run, and I would wager they all have blown head
gaskets. So, what does HE drive?
A W123 240D, of course.

and a bunch of older BMWs
(yes, Fred, they are all older BMW engines: two '89s a 325ix AWD aka The
Ultimate Snowmobile :)
and a 325ic convertible,
a '77, a '78 (parts) and a rare '79 Euro)

When looking at used motorhomes, you often find rebuilt engines in examples
that
would be regarded as very low miles if it were a car. When you look at diesel
Vixens (2.4L BMW turbo), they ALL have rebuilt engines in them, many within the
last 5,000 or 10,000 miles (quick, sell it before it blows again).
Mitch.
