[BMWCSRegistry] General input sought

[SPANLAB]

Kevin, about a year and a half ago I purchased a 73CSA that had been 
hit at the front right fender. No major damage just a bent fender and 
right grill.
The car had 17000 miles only and aside from the front fender it was 
immaculate. It cost me delivered about 4K and was worth every penny.

I must say I lucked out.
