Beautiful M1, not many cars look so good in orange. I may have to suggest this trip to my wife, get set for more eye rolling.

It was great Kos we all really enjoyed it (even the family !)

I have to say the cars were probably redder in the metal than my camera makes them look...

I'd just love that 507, if I had a choice, but the 2002 is very sweet too.

In 1972 I worked in Basel Switzerland for 6 months, and spotted a blue 507 hardtop in a garage there, in what can only be called a distressed state. It had a price of the equivalent of £500, 5000chf, nearly the price of a new Escort at the time, but I still dreamt of having it! It'll be worth a million now..
Selection of BMW hardtops available, please ask!

Did they ever put these wheels in to production? They look awsome.

I think they are style 14s I was after a set for mine a while ago but they rarely come up in a decent size they are most commonly 7x15 on E36s but went up to 9x17 on E32s and very occasionally on E34s.

Kos, I know what you mean about the motorsport room, I would still be standing there dribbling over that CSL now if they had not dragged me out.
