My thoughts exactly now. Though I've got to wait and find an E36 BMW, but I'm sure I'll find one.

Hopefully I can get some of my family to make a trip over to the Portland area, and I'm fortunate enough that my aunt and uncle live in the area, and they're moving in August-ish, so we'll need to get over and help them out, so that helps my case a bit 
edit: There's a 1990 BMW 535i with "low miles" (I assume ~150,000 since that's the norm), 3.5L straight 6, 5 speed, LSD (whatever that is), leather, maintenance records, for $2999. (might be able to haggle a bit )
I'm not too keen on the 5 series, but I would drive one.
