  2. Gary's '88 M3 is about as close to perfection that you can come for a BMW nut like me. His attention to detail sets the bar for many of us. Gary and his wife are also some of the nicest people that I have been privileged to meet. NwBMWclub.com is very fortunate to have him as an active member and that little e30 is fun as hell to chase through the twisties!!
