I counted 8 coupes and probably 300 BMWs. This included 2 M1s, 2 Isettas, and about 6 really old BMWs. Lots of '02s and a a Z1, a handful of Z8's. Us Marylanders made a good showing.
The highlight of the day may have been the toolkit feeler gauge discussions. I think Steve Bingham (84E24) may be on a quest to make replicas. I gave him my old nasty, rusty feeler gauges and we found a near perfect set to photograph to get the sizes, order, fonts, etc. For anyone who is interested, the sizes in order are: 70, 20, 40, 60. If Steve does pursue production of replicas I would encourage him to make the sizes meaningful for the coupe; points, intake valves, exhaust valves, and perhaps stacked up for the plugs.
The crowd was not as sophisticated as the V&V crowd. I determine this by how many people ask me what GOT DREIKUGALWIRBELWANNENBRENNRAUMEN? means; only two inquiries.
