Not exactly sure what the McLaren was, but it was pretty awesome. It's not every day you see 2 Chiron's and 4 type 57s in the same place. The last pic is a twin supercharged "U-16" from a type 35. EB had some crazy ideas

Notable car sighting thread



When these were new I used to see them pretty frequently.

Not so much anymore now that they are expensive collector cars. Arguably always were.

Yup. Pretty car. Not sure they are or ever were worth the money, but very pretty.

Loved the S62 in my M5. I can only imagine the character in a two door package.

Topaz Blue Z8s are rare as most were TiAg or JB. I see plenty of Z8s sell on BaT. As soon as one closes another one is instantly listed. It has been a reoccurring thing for the past eight or nine months.

It is more of a grand tourer.

FYI, The Z8 was the first BMW to come with factory run-flats.

I don’t think I had ever seen a Topaz Z8 until today.

It was gorgeous, even on a kinda gloomy day.

I didn't take any pictures, but I saw an e46 CSL today. It is the only fully federalized one in the country. I had a front ppf done on the wagon and the detail shop was prepping it for the bmw museum. The carbon fiber intake section was pretty neat.
