..well into its Mobile Tradition period, and I saw no price gouging or difficulty in getting parts for it. I still went to the stealer for parts. No difference between that Mobile Tradition car and our currently non-Mobile Tradition E32's. Interestingly enough, my E32 is nearly exactly the same age now as that 320i was when I acquired it.

Mobile Tradition/BMW Classic are still part of BMW. I saw no difference in BMW's support for my E21 and my E32, which is particularly impressive considering that the aftermarket largely ignores BOTH models in favor of their respective successors, the E30 and E38. The aftermarket is STILL all over those cars!
