BMW 325i Convertible (1987). A dose of flair for Koos.

Koos does not hide his BMW love. The charming ease of owning the “automatic” convertible can be read from his face. It's even mentioned in his CV under the heading “hobbies”! You can see that he loves BMW from his immaculate convertible, a classic that - now 36 years old - has been in his possession for 12 years. The 325i convertible type, especially with the powerful power source, is becoming increasingly rare and therefore more noticeable in traffic.

He and his friends work on a number of older models such as the BMW E12, and there is also a BMW E21 that he has completely restored.

Internal model designation

The E12's internal model designation is the 5 Series. The car that is now being completely restored is a four-door limousine, with the kidney grilles also showing its sporty character. Koos's BMW E21 is another story; This well-known 3-series was also completely restored and can now be used as new.

A real eye-catcher

Within the club of friends, the models from the 60s/70s/80s are particularly appealing; the modern cars of that time. What is also important to him are the cars that were driven in his youth and therefore his favorites. The cars from that era are just fun. Beautiful classics arouse sympathy; the thumbs go up and the models are viewed with enthusiasm. Let's just say: it's a real eye-catcher!

Enthusiast car

Koos: “In addition to my family and acquaintances, I have a separate world in which I live when it comes to enthusiasts. Contacts within the club, visiting events, the annual Eifel rides and not to forget the Sharknose meetings. It is about a club of friends in which the networks ensure that we keep the cars running and thus promote the BMW brand.”

Quarantined?

The story makes it clear; Koos and his BMW friends do not allow the pleasure of restoration and 'Freude am Auto' to be quarantined. You can safely call the mutual friendships “well-being”, in which BMW plays a leading role in every respect.
