[QUOTE="whl, post: 60023, member: 273"] One reason why you don't see many bimmers at classic car shows is because there are just not many running around. Most of the time these cars just get wrecked or breakdown and then left to rot. I'm sure we all can recall the few instances where we saw o2's and e12's left to rot in old plantations and housing estates because nobody could care less about these cars then(early 90's). It also doesn't help much that many of these cars were not very rustproof, so just a little neglect could cause great damage. Only recently has there been a resurgence or shall I be bold enough to use 'RENAISSANCE' of old bimmers. But for some models it was to late. The switch on the electric chair was already turned on! We don't even see any Isseta's or BMW 700's on the road. These early 60's cars never even made it pass the 80's here. They just were left in a state of disrepair and rusted to the ground. Lets hope in the many years to come current (almost) classics like the e24, 23 and past models do not suffer the same fate as their predecessors. [/QUOTE]
