He's an awesome guy.. had the pleasure to have him as an instructor when I attended a winter training in 2009 at Sölden



He's the guy with the phone

Back then in 2009 I posted also a thread here on 1Addicts which was even featured on the main page

Hearing Josef say that he gets emotional as he walks by the line of BMWs in the museum because he's driven every one of them, reminds me of the years of driving pleasure my BMWs have offered me - starting off with my BMW (E30) 328i.

Thanks for the video!

This is why I won't drive any other brand. Emotion, history, legacy..it all surrounds BMW since the beginning. I bought my first when I was 19..and I'm on my 4th (still own my first and I'll never get rid of it). I'll own them until I die.

Amazing!! An M3 and a M235i for drivers' school, great choices!!

Exciting when I see people enjoying their BMWs for what they are and they're not.

Please just don't turn this thread into how Porsche, Benz, Audi are better.

40 years of being a cop it seems like the last half was even better.

That man does not look 83 at all! I think we've found the fountain of youth guys. Drive BMW's, stay young.

Thanks for the video!
When did they make a 328i E30?
