Those pictures bring back memories. We had an '84 (I think) 240D with the 4spd. back when I was in highschool and had just gotten my drivers license, it was tan with tan interior.

My father wasn't quite ready to let me get my first car yet, so whenever I had to go out the 240D was usually the vehicle I got to take. It had about 180k miles and although it was slow it ran like a top. It didn't have a single squeak or rattle and was put together as well as (or even better than) most new American autos today.

Those cars have a certain charm about them that makes them hard to dislike. Congrats.
