'90 M3C Alpinweiss II

Here's the story:
I found a 78,000 mile '91 M3 in Jacksonville FL for sale. 2 months of talking, bartering, questioning, and thinking, and I decided to buy it.
A friend of mine (another Doug G, '97 M3/4) and I flew out on the red eye Fri at midnight. Landed in JAX at 9:30 am, picked up the car and started out trip back to Denver at 11:00am. Stopped in Baton Rouge for a quick 5 hour nap and kept running. Blew through LA, TX, NM and made it to Denver by midnight. Total mileage: 1870, no tickets, no mechanicals, all is well.
Just washed up the car and it looks great. We lose about 15% of the car's horsepower living at 5,500 feet elevation, but it still moves well.
Thanks to Mark Pike for meeting us in Tallahasee and talking E30s!!!!

Thanks to Dave Rodziewicz for keeping such a nice car.
