    Thanks Steve, I can't stop checkin' it out.
    I think that's what it looked like 20+ years ago when I bought it.



    If it looks like this again in another twenty+ years I'll be happy.

    Thanks, it's an 88. It's not the 78 color but this one:

    Factory BMW M3 Automobile color. In bright sunlight the color goes from a flat 70's gold green appliance color to a golden metallic.

    (I still have the original Pearl white with 3 Blue accents factory body)

    Both of these didn't start life as RS's but where there's a will, both done with genuine parts, and much more importantly having the money to do that at the time really, really helps....
