An evening ride home

An evening ride home in a “grown-ups” 535i in the mid eighties started it all. I still remember starring at the instrument cluster lit up in red - this may have hypnotized me for good.

Luckily my Grandfather “Papa” was a kid at heart and listened to my suggestion to buy a red 1987 325is which we shared until I turned 16. On that day the 3er became mine and he bought a 1990 525i. Our collection grew and changed over the years. This was a photo taken of the family in 2003. This is dedicated to J.W. Cipponeri. The BMW dream lives on.
