"The Collector"

[LJ851]

The Collector and his mechanic took Cody and I out to lunch: I rode along in the red-over-black Alpina 1600 while Cody and the mechanic piloted the silver M30'd monster. The two raced the cars through the backroads, driving like bats out of hell as if there was a finish line somewhere to be found. The dual-Weber M10-powered Alpina car I was in stormed past the M30'd ACS 02 on the straights, squealing the tires and putting the hefty arches to good use. Both of them possessed enough power to have fun yet not quite enough to get in trouble.

Was the M30 car sandbagging? I find this hard to believe.

I would definitely get in trouble in a M30/2002

Also, are there any engine shots of the M30 2002? Pretty please?

Thanks for the pretty pictures, i wonder why "the collector" has a fake Alpina diff cover amongst so much legit stuff?

I think I know who the "collector" is.

^ I have an assumption.

+1 ... PLEASE put up a 2002 engine bay shot with an M30


I think seeing a collection like that would change my life. For good or bad, I have no idea..

The e21 flared fenders & m30 745i did it come with Alpina steering wheel, Alpina shift knob, Alpina boost knob & Alpina dead pedal?

Good to know where that white 1602 cabrio ended up.
I hope "The Collector" corrects and restores it as needed it has amazing potential.

Nice photos.

What model of BMW is the red BMW with no kidney grills? I have never seen that before.

My. God. I sincerely doubt I'd ever want to own 90% of those (not into anything much older than 88), but man...a collection like that, a parts pile like that and a passionate person in the middle of it would be awesome to experience. Lucky man (you and the Collector).

Thanks for sharing.

My jaw dropped when I scrolled to the garage picture, wow! What a collection!

Those words literally hurt my soul, I hope you find the help you need someday.

And.. read through this yesterday, absolutely incredible. I literally had a grin the entire time I was reading and looking through that article. Makes me wonder how many garages similar to that are around (of any makes and models).

:up:
