Great story. The man is definitive about the models he likes.

CaptBTKirk · 05-12-2015, 02:25 PM

That E24 M6....*sigh*

Good man. Not a celebrity and doesn't want to be a celebrity.
And yeah, FANTASTIC collection!

Has to be Marin County judging by his accent. He sounds a lot like Bob Weir minus the idiosyncratic stammering.
Edit: After watching the petrlicious clip, he does studder and stammer quit a bit like Bob Weir, they may be related, although he doesn't look irish.

Fucking incredible collection and passion.

What can you say but sexy sexy sexy... Awesome collection.

Wow, that is just incredible! Big props to his collection!

being that I am only 19, I have other priorities, but once I am "established" an E30 will be #1!!

That would be tough! Info on your E36? I got a 99 Techno Violet coupe myself.

Coupe '95 Estoril Blue Metallic. 5sp. This month it's getting a Turbo. I'm excited about this upgrade!

Downeaster1 · 05-13-2015, 09:45 AM

I thought I was nuts with my 3 that I had at one point. Couldn't imagine how many water pumps I would need with 40+ cars haha

Sounds like a blast, I'm sure the wife loves that haha.

I've thought about going FI a few times, but I think I'm just going to leave that to the M2 and keep the E36 that docile car that it is.

handsomdave · 05-15-2015, 09:43 AM

love these kinds of clips.

Murph335 · 05-15-2015, 11:47 PM

N54 based cars give me that feeling. I don't understand the attraction to 80s and older imports.
I can appreciate e36 and up M cars. Maybe it's an age thing or what was cool in high school that you couldn't afford then.

However I envy that he is able to collect, has a building, and a successful business in ....

Same, possibly a slightly older generation but barely(assuming you're early 20's?)

I will always appreciate BMW heritage, but if I was to start a collection myself, most of my collection would start off from the E46 era, however including some of my all time favorite; E30M (obv), the E24M, E9 3.0CS, and 507 (dreaming).
