So in December 2022 I picked up my now beauty of a show car. I went to the Vegas Mecum car show looking to buy an old 1972 GTR but it had so much damage that wasn't in the pictures. Right next to the GTR was this beautiful E24 M6. Instantly caught my attention. I was with my Dad at the auction as well and he really held his tongue when I started to check it out. didn't understand why but I blew it off as something small. Later it came across the block, put the money down, and took her home with me. Only at dinner that night did my dad tell me that he was so proud of me and that I actually had family history with E24's that I never knew about. My grandfather owned a BMW dealership in SoCal from 1969-1982. His favorite car the entire time he worked there was a red M6. He would always talk about that car whenever my dad would visit him at work. So my love for these cars has "transcended generations" as my dad said. So I did more homework on the car and found that she was delivered only one dealership north of where my grandfather's was. I guess it was a kind of fate.
Anyway, I gave her the name REDFIN because of the E24 nickname of "shark nose" and put the red shark sticker on her to seal the deal. (also the car was sold by a guy in Hawaii so fitting there as well). she has 52K miles, all original parts, 2 owners before me. the first owner had her for less than a year and couldn't make payments so it was repossessed and soon bought after by the next owner who took meticulous care of her till he sold her at auction. The only non original thing about her is now she has the gold BBS type 75 wheels instead of the silver BBS she was born with. but they're the same style and period just a different color.
