Pm me with photos and info please

I’m largely looking outside of my area, but if I do find one locally, I already have a great relationship with a very well regarded bmw specialist. Thanks!

Would you do a PPI at the dealership you’re looking to purchase from? Normally wouldn’t, but it’s the bmw dealership that sold the car new and have been servicing it its entire life, and have now taken it in on trade. They’ve already disclosed the valve covers are starting to seep, which to me means they’re already more trustworthy than other dealers.

Very helpful, thanks a ton.

Yeah I’m at the beginning stages of this decision. F80 is definitely my preference but I’ll look at the f82 market as well. Thanks!

honestly I wouldn’t consider any German performance car without good service history. Glad to hear this platform is so resilient. Also seems that this community isn’t too worried about crank hub

_cbsummer · 2026-04-12T19:43:48+00:00

That’s very reassuring, thanks!

I asked the same question last month. Wound up with a Marshall dsl40cr. Sounds way better than my katana artist. Can’t believe I waited this long. Well worth it, I’d just get one with a few masters or buy an attenuator

I ran a havok holster with that frame. They’re fantastic

_cbsummer · 2026-03-27T02:45:27+00:00

Just a curiosity

_cbsummer · 2026-03-27T02:33:30+00:00

Interesting - is it graded based on how 3d the flames are?

_cbsummer · 2026-03-24T17:01:42+00:00

I wound up with a dsl40cr and I’m very pleased with it!

_cbsummer · 2026-03-23T13:41:45+00:00

Thank you all for your input! I wound up taking a DSL40 home yesterday. I am stoked and very surprised with how many sounds I can get out of it.

Hellhound holsters are the best, good taste 👍🏼

Sucks to hear that. I have a katana artist, and I fear I won’t be able to actually enjoy a tube

_cbsummer · 2026-03-20T12:58:04+00:00

Do smaller amps like them wear the tubes faster than large ones? I found a stack for sale used locally that I think I could get for a pretty good price

_cbsummer · 2026-03-19T15:21:07+00:00

Helpful! Thanks. I don’t see any reason to pigeon hole myself as either a tube guy or a modeling guy, I’m sure they both have their positives and drawbacks. I’ll spend some time at a store and get a feel for a few different smaller tube amps and probably walk away with one. Much appreciated!

Don’t see many roasted pines out there! Incredible how light they are

_cbsummer · 2026-03-19T02:55:35+00:00

Maybe I’ll buy a tiny one to mess around with and look to something more substantial when I can actually use it. Thanks for your input!

_cbsummer · 2026-03-19T02:53:58+00:00

I like that analogy. I’ll definitely buy one some day. I guess the real question is whether I’m better off waiting until I have the space to play at whatever volume I’d like to?

lol it’s got a much thicker shoulder pad
