We started after an accident, here. Thanks to Mitch Conard and Jim Stansfield and Spence at Mesa Performance Parts, we got a lot big and little parts to put it back together.

The paint was done six weeks ago. The Alfa was failing, so we took the BMW out of the body shop, missing some trim and some [...]

My step dad had the coolest 2002 Tii. I mean the thing was perfect all the way around, golf yellow with black interior. I remember one day, I was in probably 5th grade at the time and I happened to be performing in a talent show of sorts. Well on the way over to the [...]

The CS stood for Coupe Sport. The 2800 CS and subsequent models featured a new front end that would influence BMW design for many years. The style of the C-pillar with the Roundel logos are unique to the CS models. My first CS was a 2800. The biggest problem is rust. It is [...]

In his work of short stories, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, Rhoald Dahl tells a great story about a BMW.
The story is called “The Hitch-hiker”
Here is a summary taken from Wikipedia, but I have read the story and it is brilliant.
“This is another fictional first person narrative. The narrator in this case [...]

I’ve been on a few BMW motorcycles, but my favorite is the old K75S. It had a couple of short comings,but, in general it was an all-around great ride. In the years I owned it, 10, I had only 13,000 miles. But they were all long distance rides. The best was up the [...]

My step dad was, and is, a BMW guy. Growing up, I remember we had a garage full of BMW’s and old Ferraris. He kept them all in mint condition and he would assiduously wash each one of them each weekend. I can still remember the smell of the old ones, that gasoline and oil [...]

I bought my 1976 silver/blue 2002tii in Chicago for about $5000. I was 27. It was in good shape, fast, and I tore around Chicago’s torn up and potholed streets for a least a year. I took care of it but worried about it endlessly. It was a little fragile in general. [...]

When I was first starting out in the securties business, I really needed a better car. I was 33 at the time and had owned 3 BMWs by then. But I had been stranded with an old Subaru station wagon on its last legs. So the hunt began. I checked the classfied everday with very [...]

Roscoe was forest green and so speedy.  My cousin Lisa and I drove him all over Boulder-CU never saw such a cool car with two such cute gals…oh those memories…just seeing the title, BMW stories brings back those college memories

One day, I was driving down Colfax Ave in Denver. When I spotted a white BMW coupe sitting at the local Porsche/Audi dealer. I had always wanted a coupe since first laying eyes on one in the early ’70’s. But they had always been out of reach. I pulled in and found a Salesmen who [...]

More on my 2800 sedan. The car was a bit of a mystery. My father bought it “new” from the local Denver dealer on 3rd and Broadway. But i noticed early on that the hood had been painted and thee were some obvious stone chips on the leading edge of the hood [...]

When I was in College at the University of Colorado, my Freshmen year, I purchased a 1974 BMW Bavaria in hopes of fixing it up and selling it for a profit. I knew then that nobody had ever done that before… So I decided to give it a try.

I started this blog, so that I could tell my many stories related to BMW’s.  I’ve owned BMW’s since 1971.  Actually, my father bought my f irst BMW in 1968.  It was a red 2800 sedan with a slush box tranny-back then the words slush box was the correct description for  an auto trans.  At [...]
