My path to BMW enthusiasm
I have been a BMW enthusiast since the early 80s. The President of the small IT services firm I worked for had seen my Escort radar detector hard wired into my car, eliminating the need to plug it in the cigerette lighter (that's what they were called back then). He had a new BMW 533i with a manual 5 speed transmission. He said I could borrow it for a week when he was out of town if I hard wired his Escort into his BMW. DEAL! I got an 1981 528i, graphite metalic with red leather shortly after. I've been driving BMWs ever since.
Restoring BMWs
After a 40 year career in IT, I left to start restoring BMWs.
