FIRE ORANGE 2002?! haha jk very awesome video! Thanks for sharing... It's my dream to someday own a E30 M3 and have it as long as I can... I'm glad his dream of owning a 2002 came true. The car is truly a beauty to look at. Give me hope

Beautiful car, great video,... I wish I could do something similar as I honestly don't ever want to let go my E46,... I somehow relate to the feeling, every time I see it, I smile.

Numark318i · 07-25-2011, 09:55 PM

This solidifies my move to not sell my E30. / :

Like it too much. I would sell my e92 and loose 5k on it before i got rid of the E30, kinda sad.

love the story

I missed my 1974 tii!

krnnerdboy · 08-04-2011, 07:30 PM

strangely my childhood dream car was a series 1 land rover discovery...I guess more than the car it's what it stood for that I admired. family trips through the jungle, safari, alps, volcanoes, running over zombies

I finally purchased mine in 08 and took some amazing trips in it, but then in the end I donated it to a family who had lost their home and car in a forest fire. They're insurance company had been giving them the run around and they were transportless....I couldn't think of a better way for my dream car to run on...one day I 'll purchase another one build it up again

Joy & Love is BMW

Artemis · 07-13-2012, 08:14 AM

It ain't a 1M and it isn't Valencia Orange, but the owner in this elegantly crafted video talks with the same enthusiasm (and experiences) as we do about our 1M's over here.

Petrolheads, I salute you.

Artemis · 07-13-2012, 08:42 AM

And as an encore, another video story of the same video maker: Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing.

Timeless, sheer elegance.

1'M Blue · 07-13-2012, 08:47 AM

great vid indeed. inspires me to go and search for a classy bmw !

mPlasticDesign · 07-13-2012, 09:44 AM

Love it, the story, the philosophy, the soundtrack...I feel the same way about cars.

ozinaldo · 07-13-2012, 01:34 PM

Beautiful video, Artemis thanks a lot for posting this. This is the car that made me love BMWs first time. No miracle that I have a VO 1M now

This should make the front page of bimmerpost.

Great video! I still have my 2002 that I bought second hand in high school. She runs but needs some tlc. This video inspired me to get going on fixing her up. Such a fun car to drive.
