I don't think that's a bimmer; maybe a caprice or something similar (note the exhaust and the (shoddy) location of the gas tank).


And you need to get your friend off the JDM crap. I think the saying goes: "you can't polish a turd."

It was parked on government property(it is a naval home) so they have nothing to worry about it will all be paid for. That is why so many people had so many cars there. At that same place they had a private water tower and it fell also.


Its the big blue thing on its side
