I had the dealer try to find me a bank to finance the car. They found a few and came back with a 12% rate 
So i called my credit union and over the phone they approved it and overnighted the check.

At this point i am beginning to look at alternative loan sources but dont even know where to begin. Knowing that its possible to score a loan in the high 7% range for a 15 year old car is encouraging though.

Youre not asking the right banks.

How much did they give you for your 335i? If you dont mind me asking, but if you do then its fine....
The reason Im asking is cause I kinda want to pick it up, or trade my car in for it....

^ well they wont give the car for what i traded in for so its pointless to mention it. 
I'd offer $40k though which is still a hell of a deal. But i think a guy on e90post.com is buying it this weekend.

They're basically selling it for what you were asking for it, so it's a decent deal...

That is the joy of this forum, what ever impulse buy your thinking of, short of new exotics, chances are high someone on this forum has one, very diverse network of car owners, assuming you don't own an Acura(save the NSX) or you drive an Infiniti that ends in 35/37/45, a 335, a s2k or, now a NSX

The '90s NSX body is wonderful in stock form- better than all the V-8 Ferraris, maybe even the 512BB- and doesn't need exterior mods.
FWIW, I think the current wheels look good on the car, and wouldn't trade them for another type unless they were damaged.

^ haha.. that is totally a scam. It's undervalued by at least 20-30k for that year and mileage. At least the scammers are getting better. A few months ago, they would have advertised that car for 10k. LOL

dang I didn't know RM racing made so many parts. I remember I wanted an RM intake when I had my Legend, but they were hard to find. Are they still even in buisness?

No biggie. Coincidently, I backed into a curb earlier today, but I didn't notice until I felt my rear tire on it. So luckily it was a LOW curb and no damage happened.
I like this shine front lip, only $225 and the quality is quite good. I've had a shine bumper before, no issues.
