Lotsa BMWs.

Only auto for the 840, though, and the auto trannies on the 8s had chronic issues...  The 850CSi is the one to get.  The closest thing to an M8 made; it has an S-designation engine (S70, 5.6L V12).  Not easy to find.

Danke!

I like those old BMers with the HUGE windows...  Whatever those are...   :dunno:

BMW made a Vista Cruiser for a couple years in the '70's.  Ultra nice.

A friend of mine had an 850 and I had to drive one time when he was drunk.  I liked it.  A lot.  

Not a bad Friday car.  

How about a new M3?  With that crazy light blue color?  M & M blue?  

If I hit the lotto, I may have to get one of those.

See any Isetta's there? (you know, that one-door-steve-urkle-car)

NO!  The 70's ones...  I dunno...  I know this much about old BMWs:

My little bro bought an '88 528e...he drove it for 3 miles and it burst into flames...now we are in the process of finding a donor car cause anythign that was plastic under the hood has to be replaced...useless but he loves the damn thing

Usually there are, but this year none showed up.  Last year was nuts - we had a 328 roadster (the mid-30s one), an M1, a Glas, an Isetta; you name it.

NO!

The CSs?



The Isettas?

[RVertigo]

The CSs?

The windows are less slanted...  Almost like a top-hat car...  Like a really little '62 Nova...  The ones where the windows are nearly half the height of the car...  I have no idea...  Maybe I should stop being lazy and look for what I'm talking about.   :dunno:

The 1600?  There are a few that look kinda like it...



:dunno:

1600, 1800, and 2002.  There's a big 2002 group in these parts.

My brother had one.  I almost got one, but it ended up being cheaper to get my E30 than to buy either a cherry 2002, or buy a non-cherry one and deal with the issues.     Plus, the E30 is fuel-injected, and a lot easier to work on.  The only FI 2002(tii) is rare and expensive - and an early, PITA FI system.

I've never even tried to work on Fuel Injection...

Most carbs are easy to understand and work on...  Except...  I never figured out why the cold-start idle on my Bug never worked right.  I had to manually set it. :lol:

I still think the 2002 (or 1600 or whatever) look cooler.  But, I'd never buy one...  I'm done with collector cars with expensive parts.  Ok... Well...  I've never had a collector car with expensive parts, but I bet it sucks.   :lol:

I started on FI and only had to deal with carbs when I moved to bikes; that's probably why I prefer FI.  We like what we learned on.
