like a fantastic race horse.

Standard version , touring status
But it has high functionality with the parcel below the wrap around veneer, notice the thin pillars

Just Gorgeous...
In and Out, you've taken some amazing pics of your beauty, I love your 6th picture of the car, shows off the front perfectly and what a perfect front it has, the details on this car are astounding, the little things that make it so special, alas why can't they make cars like this today 
but since its in your hands, I have hope and look forward to what may come

Yes the shark nose is fascinating...
pedestrian protection rules do not help but i am dure that we will soon be able to get it, the bmw designers are hard working on it.
But generally the car is so pure and so elegant, i cant get tired of looking at it , and i get more smiles than when driving the 911s or other vintage cars
This is a rare car.
I really have to dig deep to remember the last time i saw one in the flesh ... still digging actually .
.As Salman says those wheels are amazing, are they 15 inch? I suppose so give the era .... .
I do have the feeling you're starting to enjoy your long holiday ... actually i think it's a very good idea for you to take that loooooong holiday.
Hope to see more adventures of mister dark cloud ;-)

Yes you hardly see them. Interesting is that they were positioned against the 911
on the market and had the same price but today they have not followed the porsche price inflation and they are still at 50% of the f-type seventies 911
The wheels are 16 inch alpina, the standard were 14 but you cant find good tires anymore for the 14 inches.
Yes i am making myself busy with all my toys, my garden leave is a garage leave LOL
One of the most beautiful BMWs ...
I always adored the large and powerful Coupés from BMW. For me as a college student, the much more recent M 635 CSi was the absolute dreamcar.

I agree Marcus, the 635 was my teenager dream but i remember
a Holiday early seventies at my grand mother. I was 6 or 7 years old and had listened to the whole night radio coverage of the 24 hours of francorchamps where the batmobiles were fighting with the capris and the amg mercedes... That made me want a 3.0 bmw.
I remember a long evening drive with my Grandfather in his Cadillac
I was also at a formative age and it made me lust for a big-engined Cadillac. I'll probably have a CTS-V someday.
Our youthful dreams realized, eh? What fun!
Did you retire?

Yes childhood defines the future desires, no i did not retire , just on a non compete
forced pause but ... ( famous phase will follow) i ' ll be back ! LOL
What a beauty.
Wish they would design something new with lines like that. I want all of the great cars from the 60's and 70's to be reintroduced.

So many great coupes in that era, bmw, mercedes, volvo, maserati, alfa.. Etc [nt]

Beauty is all I see.
As you already know, I love it. Good to see it back on the road.
My 2002 must be somewhere around North Carolina, I had to let it go. Some days I miss it, it was a very pleasant sensation to drive it, specially with the sunroof open. That special connection with those analog machines was so refreshing in these digital days. MAN/MACHINE vs MAN/COMPUTER/MACHINE
Thanks for sharing
Vte
Yes i agree and a 2002 is also on my list, toying with the idea of a 2002 touring
And some evil voices wake me up at night with tempting and not honest thoughts LOL
No, not orginal but so... Delicious you wonder why it did not exist
I do like that....
....turbo Touring....Just needs the backwards TURBO on the spoiler.
I always thought that the 2002 Tourings were made by Touring (a la the Beuer and Glas BMWs), but it seems Touring is a spec (hatch) not the carrozzeria, which died in the late 60s?
Am I missing something? Do you know who built those hatches?
Lovely...
Hi Luc,
Thats a very rare car in this part of the world where I live, as well as in yours I believe nowadays. Bravo for a nice collection of classics. That garage looks tight for 3 911=)
Have a good drive.
Regards
Jacky
Yes there aren' t many as they would self destruct themselves with rust
eating the structure from inside as all the Karmann engineered cars, they have lots of cavities filling themselves wuüith leaves, mud and moisture so many are gone now.
And yes the garage is only provisional as i want all the cars together, the other 911s are coming this summer.
Cheers
Luc
Thanks Geross, i love the 6 inline especially with the new stainless steel
exhaust line with headers.
Cheers
Luc
