With the shop door finally closed, our play day in BMW heaven was unfortunately over. I took a final glance at his collection one more time before we all shook hands and parted ways. As Cody and I cruised in the E9 back to Costa Mesa, we realized one thing: There's absolutely no better way to spend a Sunday. I can only hope to find myself surrounded with the parts and knickknacks, let alone cars like these, some day in my distant future.
