Here are my humble thoughts --- DUDE!!...wake up, your brother is so trying to set you up! His E320 wil flat out dog, the Bavarian E34 with M20 power! Don't let him suck you in....Hang with the 126-it'll be one of the best decisions you'll ever make.

Now, my friend - here's an option for you ---- If your brother "really",wants to 'touch it up' with an E34 or maybe even an E28 - let me know! I'm here for ya...

OK, I thought about it, --- You seem like a nice guy from a nice family, so here's what I'm gonna do...Now I don't do this for everybody--so keep this just between us....But it's Christmas!, right? ---

I feel like your brother should have a fair chance in his wish to race---- I offered to help with either an E34 or E28...So, with having the Holiday spirit --- I'd even be willing to drop down, and let him 'touch it up' with a much smaller car - The E30! That may make him feel better, and more like a man!

I've attached a couple of simple pictures you can show your brother and see if he's really interested....The tread on the tires is minimal and very worn on the outer edges, the interior is very basic and rough, no radio, no heat or air, the hood latch doesn't even work properly! had to do the Frankenstein thing with a couple of bolts to keep the hood from flying up and off....It doesn't even have a back seat and if it rains you get wet because the side windows are missing -- can you imagine, a car without a back seat and side glass ----

I don't know, but I'm sure his E320 has lots of bells and whistles, and other neat stuff... - check it out and let me know what he wants to do....

JUST having some fun with your situation --- hope your laughing, and enjoy it as much as I do ---- Keep the 126, and if you and your family are ever in North Carolina, let us know as I'd be happy arrange for touch and feel of the attached E30.

PS...tell your brother I'm a true blue Tarheel -"TAR-HEEL". Charles Cornwallis (British General and Statesman) said it best, and I quote: "We can not get these boys from North Carolina to back down, It's like they have TAR, on their HEELS!" And we only race for pinks!
