That looks like a great way to reunite with your recently restored e30.

Greetings from Maryland

My 1992 318i. With some much needed elbow grease she always looks like her old self. The clock shows 123700, but she has around 125K - the odometer stopped working years ago, but I rarely drive her except for some short local trips around town and a few trips around my neighborhood just to keep her in motion. She stays under a cover year round. I've thought of giving her up, but every time I do I find a reason to continue my stewardship over her. This time it's for insurance purposes. I blend rates between this car and my daughters XC60. It literally saves me close to $1800 a year and since she can't drive a stick (and refuses to learn) I've realized this beauty is worth far more to me than anyone can offer in cash

My 1993 E-34 525i. While I live in Vermont, I purchased this car in Redondo Beach, California on a layover in 2001.
Had it trucked to Chicago, then flew into ORD , drove it back through Canada ultimately back to Vermont.
This car never sees any snow or salt, winter stored in a climate controlled garage, so maintenance on it has been minimal. New fluid and oil changes, that's it.
Still running great (well needs a new clutch throw out bearing). Son drove it all summer when his F-30, N20 motor 328i Xdrive got noisy !

The odometer gears deteriorate over time - an easy fix. See:

Also, the National Capital Chapter is the largest/most active BMW club chapter in the country/world. Bring it out to the Hunt Valley gathering next week!

I’m working on acquiring a very special E28 524td. I’ll post a ton of pics and the story if and when it’s finally in my possession. In the meantime, here is another E30 M3 that was sitting in the service department of a local BMW dealer last time I went in for some parts.

Hoping this deal works out. But here she is. E28 524td

You don't find many td E28s in the USA. There's a section for them at MyE28.com:

I’ve wanted an e28 for a long time and just never bought one. My plan is to restore and upgrade to full mtech inside and out. Will serve as a Sunday driver and something to tinker with.
Touch finding solid td however. There was a really nice 1 owner car in New Jersey not long ago. But I missed it by a few days.

Not mine but I was going through some old pics recently and came across these of a 2002 I saw in the parking lot at work, back in late 2015. Don't know who the owner was, just had to grab a few shots of it because it looked so good. Figure this crowd would appreciate it. (Maybe the owner's here!)

[328dabi]

She finally arrived yesterday. This is a very special 524td. It’s a 1984 model year u.s. spec car. Quite possibly the only 1984 u.s spec sold to the public. Now the fun begins. I’m going to do a full restoration and some period correct oem + modificatons (m-tech valance, rear spoiler, 16” style 5 wheels, m tech steering wheel and a factory td lsd).

Here it is with my 328d.

So I may have the first u.s spec diesel sedan. Now if only I could find the last 2018 540d and not have my wife kill me.

Nice, thanks! I suspect that’s a different car, with the similar classic Alpina livery. Very likely this one in the famous Alpina Ad shot:

Possibly. The car is owned by BMW AG and was on display at BMW of Manhattan which is BMW’s only corporate owned dealer (as in owned and operated by bmw North America). They had several cars on display. These pics were taken in 2015. Here are a couple more pics (not of the 2002)
