Ah...the E31 what a wonderful work of art. The next time you are about to pull it into the garage at night. Walk to the front of the car while it is running and the lights are all on....now is that look ahead of its time or what!!!!!!!!

Your idea is great Kurt! There was a time that I kept my 8 series strictly for weekend drives. The following thoughts changed my mind and I drive my 8 to work a few times a week. Two things that I thought about. One the uncertainty of life itself and two the price of gasoline. Have any of you with low mileage vehicles ever thought about this one.... These cars were made to be driven and I don't see gas getting any cheaper in the next ten years. Bottom line...enjoy these beautiful machines while you can.

You will be surprised to hear that I have had thoughts like yours ever since I bought this car. I still think about buying another one and if I could afford it buy a couple more. One in dark blue, one in silver and the list goes on....

I actually saw a Z8 at the local BMW dealership. Very nice, but for that price I could buy almost four E31s...in fact, I could include a nice E31 convertable for that price. There was one for sale in Texas about four months ago by one of the Dallas Cowboys!

I am thrilled to see that there are others like me! If you ever follow through on the idea...I'm there!

Gentleman of the E31 Wild Bunch:
Concerning this next proposal, I will Aver that Most people would just think I am crazy, but since we are all obviously more than a bit eccentric or crazed over these cars I know you will understand. You all know the daydream, 'gee if I won the Lotto I would....this and that...!!! Also, when you arrive in life at that place where you have what is often referred to as "Fxxx you money" you might do...this and that! Well, I have been seriously considering buying up all the used E31s I can find that are tired and in need of serious attention etc. around the $10,000 to $15,000 range and putting them all, regardless of condition in a large warehouse and lovingly restoring them to their original shine and beauty and/orslowly dissecting them into pieces down to the nuts and bolts and therefore having parts exclusively for those few owners in the world who must prove their severe dementia somehow for the passion and preservation of this lovely chariot before they can qualify for parts.

Of course one wouldn't make any money, & would probably lose some, but the mania in my psychie over these cars sees me wandering endlessly among the rescued and wounded beauties fondly petting them as I cherish their existence & preservation. Victoria's Secret and E-31s. I know, I know, it's pathetic....I am beyond help.
Kurt
