I own a couple of BMWs that have been superb cars, very low maintenance,
and great performers. My latest acquision is a Z-3 3.0L, which I got
because it is so much a kindred sprit to my 1960 TR-3A, in attitude,
style, heart and soul. It is where Triumph should have gone with the TR
roadsters. But the 320s were complete dogs! $35 would have been expensive!
Cheers.
