That is a really nice job and color. I never saw that color before this post, then I saw one yesterday, not near as nice. Great job!

You take great care of that car and you should be proud. I would be. It is still as elegantly classic as the day it was new.

I hate to say it, but the best thing that ever happened to BMW back then was Lexus and Infiniti (cadillac seville and eldorado also helped too). They forced a super performer to become a super performer/luxury car. I love that car. You dont see many of them lookin that nice anymore.

Joe, Thanks for your kind words!

My dad used to have a 97 sedan deville back when we had our 93 740il. You could not have given me the caddy for free after driving both. The caddy had no road feel and no brakes.

Good to see that caddy is making a few cars that I would want now. If I had the cash, I'd take the new CTS-V over the M5 now. The CTC-V will be the cats ashe for sure.

Lexus makes a great car, very reliable but the ride is too soft for me in the LS460l. I did get to turn some hot laps in a IS350 at Road Atlanta, very fun for sure.

Infiniti- Drove a M35 for 70 miles over 2 days. Nice car, but I would prefer a 5 series.
