I agree with Kevin, my E9 was so much raw fun. Of the three BMW's I've owned, it was the one I think of when I see or hear "ultimate driving machine"

A few cars after it, I owned a Triumph GT6+ MKII. It also was a blast to drive (when it was running good-very good) The straight 6 in it was so hard to keep running perfect. It was like two 3 cylinders engines with just one crankshaft. Two carbs, two distributors (Lucas, of course) ((with points and condenser)) Even back in early 80's it was a money pit. It would have been great fun to autocross it. Did autocross exist in 1981?

Lately, I miss my S4, but selling it was the logical thing to do when moving back east via RV (damn logic, should of bought a trailer to tow it here)
