    Part 2: morning meet up at the local BMW dealer

    The meeting place the next morning was the forecourt of the local BMW dealer. As four of the six cars were black and the other two Topaz, I made a note of the participants and cars so I could work out who was who:

    Exterior/Interior Model Participants Country Registration plate
    Cosmos/Beige 1.8 Frank Schirk (aka Formel1) Germany M-FS-1335
    Jet/Topaz 2.8 Rocco and Anne Germany TÖL-AZ 369
    Cosmos/Imola M Tadzio Switzerland ZH 91506
    Cosmos/Tanin 2.8 Basil and Claudia Switzerland AG 32204
    Topaz/Topaz 2.0 Maik and Karen Germany FFB-KM 128
    Topaz/Beige 2.8 Tim Cullis Country T23 TRC


    Rocco's lowered Jet Black 2.8 drew some local interest


    Rocco's combination of Topaz Blue interior with Jet Black


    Maik's Topaz Blue interior and Topaz Blue exterior


    Tadzio's Cosmos Black and Imola Red M roadster


    With some really shiny alloys


    Frank's 'heated rear window' is actually a garage door control


    Cup and flask holder


    An interesting individual Z3 in the showroom, finished in Velvet Blue with what looked like a Light Sepia leather interior

    The Dakar Yellow Z3 below was also on display, a 1.8 model equipped with uprated alloys, air conditioning, side airbags, heated seats, heated mirrors, and individual black leather with yellow piping seats.
