Love the spec! Are you local to Cam or did you just buy it there?

Thanks man. Such a special color. When I first laid eyes on Dakar Yellow in 1992 at it's debut in the E36 M3, I was enthralled. I was a 20 y/o college student driving on the PCH. At a stop light, on a bright sunny So Cal day, a middle aged gentleman and his hot wife pulled up next to me in a brand new E36 Dakar M3. My jaws dropped. Rest is history...

Wild color combo but it seems to work. Congratulations!

Cool man. Now you know you're really old school if you bought BMWs in Camarillo in the early 80s. Before Steve Thomas BMW, the dealership was formerly Hal Watkins BMW. My dad bought my sister her 83 318i there- silver on black!

I love that Dakar is an option. Your car looks great!

Thanks sir. Is that a Dakar E36 euro spec I see lurking in your avatar? So sweet! One of the best RAD era drivers car BMW ever produced. Mind posting a nostalgic pic of that unicorn?

You wont have to ask me twice to post a pic 😂
1996 euro S50B32. It is coming along. Interior still needs some work,
