Very cool. I had a grey-market, 1981 635CSI 5 speed, in Polaris Silver back in the late 1980's. I would commute home to New Haven from law school in Boston every weekend to work on my Mopars. What an amazing car...except everything on the dash was in German and the A/C would freeze up solid on the highway and nothing would come out the vents. But man, that baby could cruise.

Man I bet a LS swap would be pretty easy on that. Or a GN 3.8

Congrats Dave. I had a lot of fun driving my E30M3, as BMW said, "the ultimate driving machine".

I think the BMW term: "the ultimate driving machine" was thought up by Chuck Jordon during the short time he had worked for BMW. Bill

That was actually a Pontiac slogan well before then.
