About a year ago I was at the Technik Museum Speyer in Germany:

And a BMW 840/850 club had a meeting there.   There were probably 50-75 
cars in a corner of the parking lot; I'd never seen more than one of them at 
any given time, and hadn't seen a single one in years.   I spent a lot of time 
looking them over; some were very original and some were modified.   The 
later cars had better wheels etc. than the early ones, but all of them were 
very, very nice.   I think most of them sold in the USA had the automatic 
transmission, while the ones in Germany were more like 50/50.

I think John Zeedick needs to get one of these to replace his Pantera, 
until he can get back in the Pantera saddle again....
