Stacy.
Go over to the main "BMW Owners: Problems & Solutions" boards (the 3, 5 and 7 Series). Post on each one that you are having trouble with a 1990 BMW and if someone could recommend a good independent mechanic who works on BMWs in your area. Finding a good mechanic is crucial to discovering what is wrong and whether it is worth the expense in restoring it. BMW parts are expensive and hard to get parts for a 1990 vehicle could be very expensive. With any luck, it could just be a minor problem.
Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Yeah, what Hpowders said. You may find that mechanically, your BMW is a great car, but electronics are the downfall of the Germans IMO. I would definatly seek out an independent mechanic for your work. Good luck, and let us know how you did.

Actually I asked in the BMW dealerhip if I could get 5 series in 3 series color (I happen to like 3 series Graphite better than 5 series Titanium Gray) and they said it was possible and would cost about $2000.

Hi there - as you know, carfax costs money. You need to pay for it yourself if you want the report. Sorry.

hi, well im not sure about the color change, or getting a different series color in the series you want, but I know they can do specialized colors. I am assuming that this cost is paid to the dealer, painted at the factory, and the new "special" color will be encoded into the VIN? You need to make sure the color is available in the VIN, that way if you run a Master Inquiry the correct color code would come up and that you get the correct color badge that is under the hood on the strut tower. I can tell you that if you would decide to change the color post-production you would be extremely hard pressed to find someone who could do it the way it needs to be done, and I am 100% positive that it would cost way more than $2000. I think BMW is the same as Mercedes-Benz, so you can get almost any color you want if you have the funds. A client of mine bought a 2006 SL 65, but he got it Canary Yellow with Yellow stitching in the seats from the factory; but like I said he had the funds.

I have a Mason & Hamlin Model A grand that I am just as nuts about as any car I've ever had. Its a great instrument but my new love is the Volvo C70 that I will be getting via overseas delivery in 3 weeks. I would be very interested in hearing the experiences of others who had the OSD treatment.

Here is one report, but it's a couple years old: lev_berkovich, "Volvo S60" #1785, 13 Aug 2004 8:49 am. You might find some more information using the Advanced Search on the left.
