    Does anybody remember the name of the BMW/Ferrari dealership that was in Colorado Springs in the 70's/early 80's? I'm 95% sure it was on Fillmore, between Cascade and and I-25, on the South side of the street right where it curves. I remember being in the place when my Dad was looking at a BMW 528 many many years ago.

    I'm doing some casual research on a car that was sold there and have been unable to dig up the name of the place.

    I remember it, but not the name... maybe on Fillmore?

    I also remember when Murray Motors in Denver was in a tiny shop on Dartmouth just West of Santa Fe. They had a showroom that held about 2 cars and a couple bays.

    That was Ralph Schomp BMW on Dartmouth not Murray. When I moved back to CO in 1980, I worked for a division of Superior Oil (oil shale) that had a pilot plant about half a mile from Schomp. I transferred BMWCCA membership to CO also and attended my first Rocky Mountain Chapter meeting at that facility and yes, it was small.

    Murray was located downtown Denver somewhere...in between engineering jobs I wrenched on BMW's for one of Murray's former mechanics that opened up shop in Boulder. Artie Krill and BMW Werks.....
