9) Ownership history: I bought this car in 2005 after a friend of mine showed me his E36 M3 project, and I decided I needed a similar toy. I think I'm the 3rd or 4th owner. The original owner was an Italian so all the Racing Dynamics stuff was installed at their headquarters in Italy, before he imported the car in Haiti. It's my first BMW, even though I've loved BMWs since childhood. My dad had a 1976 3.0S (E12 is it?) which I was priviledged to drive during my late teens, then a 728i (e23), which I drove as a personal car for about 10 years before giving it away to a relative.
