    Had two friends that had them.
    One guy always wore his driving gloves when he drove it.
    Haha! Driving gloves.... Did he also wear an Andy Cap hat? Jackie Stewart wore one, great driver, met him in the Philippines back in the ‘80,s.

    No cap, but every time he was late for an off site meeting the scuttlebutt was that he couldn't find his driving gloves.
    Years late he bought a 3 series and raced it at Sears Point.
    Craig and his car.

    I wasn't sure if it was a 2002 or 320.
    I almost bought a 320 years ago with a SBC swap.

    I do not believe in a risk free society where the thrill of living is traded for the safety of existence. Nick Ienatsch

    The law does NOT determine "right" from "wrong". They are unrelated.

    If you put cheap parts on your car, you will soon have a cheap parts car.

    What's your build date? From 9/1999 it's a 2000.

    You guys ran 305s on the rear there, right? What changes did you make to run so much rubber? Any changes made to reduce wheelhop?
