Keith Martin of sports car market fame picked the 240D as the highest quality car ever built I believe. It was a panel at one of the big auctions....Scottsdale perhaps? I corresponded with him once about a 280e euro he was fixing up for his son to drive. I had one at that time too. Nice fellow. His magazine ventures have made him a wealthy man now.
