Willing to tell us more?

It's got to be a "muscle car" surely?
Not that exciting I'm afraid. It's an old (1974) BMW 3.0si Estate (Wagon to you Arthur), being restored by The Werk Shop in Lake Bluff, IL. It's pretty rare though.......
yepper, that's a pretty rare car...nice

I've heard good things about The Werk Shop from the BMW community...

The craziest "BMW" wagon I remember was a mule I was lucky enough to driove at the Milford Proving Ground near Detroit, which was a Buick wagon which had had a BMW V12 shoe-horned into it. It had far too much power and torque for it's chassis, so you had as much fear as fun when driving it!
now that is a 'frankencar' for sure...
sounds like you've had some broad range and interesting automotive engineering experiences...good on you
