    Some pure ego-stroking here! Been to a couple of cars shows lately with the 2002tii.

    In May I won Peoples Choice Award in the BMW Club German Maifest event in downtown St. Louis. A nice little show among some historic buildings with German Restaurant and BIG steins of beer!


    In June I won 1st place overall for BMW's in the St. Louis European Auto Show. This is the largest Euro car show in St. Louis so I am pretty excited. It was a beautiful day with over 200 cars participating. Best of show, BTW, was a beautiful Ferrari F40. Really rare!

    Wow! That is so cool! When I was a kid growing up I'd fantasize about having a new 2002 as an adult. Of course by the time I became an adult, those cars were no longer made.

    Glad to see a picture of you as well. Now I know who you are!

    Congrats!!!!

    Excellent!!! The Tii models are rare, and yours looks like a real gem. Keep up the great work.

    Brad congratulations. That tii is a beauty. From one German car nut to another - they don't make they like they used to. Sure they are more rust proof but some of the soul is gone... I love the old German Custom's (Zoll) plate, too.

    Luck? HAHAHA.... many of us here know better than that.

    I fully expect wins like this from your 100% perfect 2002. Personally, I am surprised BMW AG has not seized your car and flown it back to the Fatherland for a detailed inspection. The Germans love this kind of perfection.
