As a youngster growing up in Dublin, a wealthy neighbour and his wife always had very nice cars. His BMW cars were my first proper introduction to BMW, as I used to wash the cars for him and move them in and out of his driveway. I partly credit his cars with my fascination with BMW today. They would have been bought brand new by this gentleman in the eighties.

Three cars in particular stand out. I was wondering if these cars were still alive today or if anyone knows where they are. Cartell says that they still exist but I know that isn't an accurate indication.

I distinctly remember the reg plates of each car

Car 1. SI 3773 Red BMW E30 316

Car 2. 87 D 14160 Blue E28 520i

Car3. 88 WD 64 Gold/Silver E28 528i (probably one of the last E28's built)

Has anyone come across them??

I am curious to know what state they are in today if they haven't been scrapped.
