Stainless Steel Bodied Coupes

I hate to over-post, but I am not sure anyone knows about the stainless steel coupes built by BMW? There were three in total, only two remain.

Discussed here ever couple of years.

I couldn't believe the irony when I read it.

Thanks for the heads up as I did not intend on opening a new thread on an old subject.

Of the two remaining where is the second one? Crushed? in someone's private collection?

Brings tears to my eyes. Weep for us Karman.

As the result of their findings with the stainless steel cars, BMW decided that rust proofing was now superfluous and from then on only a very thin coat of primer and under body Schutz whose shelf life had long since expired, were used to give customers the impression of corrosion protection and Hans and Franz on the assembly line were instructed to shoot the material into the body panels only if they felt like it or if they had plenty of extra time left over after hitting the beer dispensing machines for the 6th time in 3 hours.
