'91 Coupe Q

[Phil and Judy Rose <pjrose@servtech.com>]

A week or two ago I posted about a near-mint pearl '91 Coupe Q FS in this
area. No one responded with knowledge about this particular car (although
plenty of opinions). I'm a bit surprised it's not been recognized. It was
evidently owned by a real enthusiast (at least there's a _lot_ of TLC in
evidence) who was a Quattro Club member. Too bad the records seem to have
evaporated.

Anyway, there are a couple of things about this '91 that I'm curious about.

(1) the muffler (stamped Audi/VW) is painted black! Is this the original
part? I expected to see silver.

(2)The glass sunroof has a _rotary_ control switch with about 5 or 6
positions (various preset movements). I was told that this was not the
control setup originally in the '91 models, but is a feature of more-recent
years and hence a mod to this car. BTW, was its Backup Alert (Sonnar)
sensor an original option? It's integrated perfectly with the sunroof
control panel.

Anyway, the car's still FS, and the dealer asserts that they "could get
$17K for it at auction", so they won't talk about less money. Waddya'
expect from a BMW dealer?--It took them several weeks to decide that $20K
was "out of line"!
