BMW built the M3 E30 to win races. Then it built a handful of them with no roof — by hand, in Garching, for people who had somewhere better to be than a racetrack. Silke and Paris Brosnan take one of those cars out of the BMW Group Classic collection and drive it from Munich to Lake Como the long way: Lake Garda, Piacenza, the 79th Festival de Cannes, Monte Carlo, and a few laps at Monza, before the final stop at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. Seven days, one BMW M3 E30, roof down for most of them — and a lot of Classic Car Talk along the way.
