Reminds me of the night over 20 years ago when I pulled in front of the local BMW dealer for a club meeting. I was driving my Polaris 74 euro coupe. All kinds of new, at the time, BMWs around, but my coupe emptied the showroom.Is the other red car an Auto Union?
I just laughed out loud.And the time I pulled up to a T stop sign in the little town of Stockton NJ. Across the street was an old inn with tables out front.
A guy stood up and applauded.
I was eating dinner at a favorite restaurant in Stamford CT. A man walked in and asked about Athena, we wound up talking for over an hour about older BMWs.
OK, Andrew, let's get this in perspective; If you're eating dinner in your favorite restaurant (Pellicci's) in Stamford CT, and a smokin' hot Italian girl walked in and asked about Athena, and you wound up doing something unpronounceable for over an hour, then it's forum material!I was eating dinner at a favorite restaurant in Stamford CT.

check license plateOdd, how would that man know Athena's name...
no, that's 2 gentlemen and a verona ...Quite a few exotics, motorcycles, and few classics up at Alice's restaurant in the woods...
Two Veronas parked next to each other, only one gets the attention...
I first "saw" an e9 in a Road and Track "Used Car Classic" article in the late 1980s. There were none where I ws raised in central Virginia. There was no dealer until the 630/633 era of the BMW coupes, so that was the first exotic BMW I ever saw. Then Road and Track published an article on the most beautiful cars in the world and the e9 was in it. I was smitten. I had never driven an e9 when I bought my first one in 2010. The first e9 I ever drove was my own, after it rolled off the truck then in 2010. This forum makes it seem that America is full of e9s, but in reality California has most of them. Florida has 20M people and maybe a dozen e9s in total.au contraire... here in Belgium i'm surprized how many people don't even know the E9 model ! and this as we are a neighbour country to Germany... but i can imagine at the time , not so many Belgians were rich enough to buy a E9... i remember seeing more 02 models ...as myself, i sure got 5 '02 cars at that time …. later a 528i …. don't even remember the existence of the E9 !!!
