I’ve had so many cars, the only one I’d probably buy back is my second car, a 1980 BMW 320i that we bought new.
Alpine White over dark blue interior, 15 inch wheels, Pirelli P7s, Bilsteins and lowering springs, Blaupunkt, etc. The bee’s knees in the early and mid 80s.
In the summer of 1988 I went to Crevier BMW in So Cal to pick up some parts, and a couple saw my car in the parking lot. We started talking and they said they thought the car would be perfect for their daughter.
I was leaving for school in NY in the fall, and wouldn’t be taking it with me, so I sold it to them.
Over 20 years later, maybe around the early 2010s, I got an email out of the blue from the daughter. She said she still had the car, still in Orange County, but it sounded like it was sitting in the back of their garage and hadn’t been on the road for years.
I have a lot of great high school and college memories of that car.
It would be fun to bring it back to new condition.
Unfortunately, I’ve lost her email, I don’t remember her name and have no way of contacting her.
