I've been watching Ford Maverick pickup trucks but production is being "paused", since Ford can't find chips anywhere.
An awesome car! Very rare, almost everyone bought the roadster. I'm pretty sure you can turn off the stability control on all of them.

Sadly, I think the ignition key would be $500. Key to the economics of an old BMW is an experienced non-dealer mechanic. There appears to be a guy in Holderness
