Wow. Just wow!

I am lucky to have an M10 and S14 engines in my garage (they come wrapped in awesome packages)

Quality article, makes a great read.
Allthough i know the history and legends from this time period, it's just a excellent read to build upon the legacy imo.
Thanks!

That's fantastic, congrats! I too have one of the M10 derivatives: the M20 ;-)

That was a great article. Thanks for posting. It brought back many memories as a fan in those days.

Loved the quote from Berger; "Berger reported wheel spin in 6th gear at 345 km/h"---(207 mph if I did the math correctly)

The E21 market is coming around. I think people are finally starting to realize what great automobile the "forgotten 3er" really is.

These are becoming more and more rare and yes they are great cars if maintained properly. Mine will never leave the family for sure ;-)
