A few comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“OH WOW! I can (foggily) remember daydreaming about these cars in high school in 1957/58. I got chastised for drawing one on my desk calendar at my first job! I’m expecting ‘grandissimo’ numbers from our BAT community.”

There have been many insightful remarks about cooling and radiators. My Griffith was upgraded with all the modifications mentioned, but nothing worked until I installed a chin spoiler under the radiator. All cars today have chin spoilers, for a reason. Regarding cabin temperatures, my headers are ceramic coated, and there is proper insulation under the carpet, keeping me cool as a cucumber even on the hottest days. While this is based on my Griffith, the 2500M is basically the same in this regard.

Every time I get off mine, I think to myself what a great machine it is! These also look so much better than the brand new RT, at least to my eye. For prospective buyers, it’s worth knowing that BMW pays for driveshaft service every 12,000 miles, with replacement at their cost somewhere around 36,000 miles. It might take some time for this low-mileage example to reach that, but knowing they service it free adds peace of mind. I’m so impressed by my 2015.
