    So I wonder if it runs and drives

    I kinda wonder the same thing. I think with how much it must have sat, and the amount of work it would need to be a drivable car again, maybe it is better suited to being the nicest original E36 M3 in the world even if it means never being driven again.

    some elbow grease some simple green and a set of azenis would make that sucker pimp!!!!!!!

    I think...maybe...when you buy 7,000 dollar wax, you probably arent in the business of buying bargain basement tires. (not that there is anything wrong with Azenis, as I have owned three sets myself, and three sets of ZIEX's, as well)

    I like a clean car, but that level of clean doesn't make sense to me. Cars are in fact meant to be driven. I don't think cars that clean ever see the road.

    If I was going to get absurd and spend a couple days on a car like that (which I've done a couple times), I'd have cut down that orange peel. yuck!

    Personally, I would have driven it through a car wash on my way to the autocross. But it is amazing what he was able to do with it!

    I may not have even put that much effort. Fingerpaint AutoX numbers into the dust
