My Elan was owned by a Consultant Surgeon (Mr Zenon Rayter...cant be to many of those around!...sadly not quite as obsessive in his detaiing as you! 
but in the 14yrs he owned it (he had it from new) every invoice for every last penny spent was with the car, from order, deposit, purchase invoice and all maintenace which gave the car beautiful provinence in a jungle of 8 owner cars with no history!

If anyone's actually got to the end of that lot...cheers!
I did !!!! And i've been meaning to post a comment on your message board for a while. May i just say congratulations on your attention to detial and througherness reguarding these cars. Its quite obvious that you don't just go out looking for a clean one...it has to be the right one. I myself, do try to keep my little M3 in the cleanest possable manner (see some pictures on my profile) and for a car that has been used, lives on the street and is a daily driver i'd like to think that i do a fairly good job. BUT nowhere near as good as you my friend. I'll have to bring the car round and you can give me some REAL lessions in car cleaning.
One last thing before i go, really liking the e28 Alpina lurking in the background. The e28 shape (M5 or M535i)is my absolute favourite model in the BMW range.
M3John.
DO NOT LOOK in the PH classifieds, unless you really need a beautiful Diamond Black with Beige Leather E28 M5 (just been listed today!)

In this same bracket I'd put the Z8. Maligned by some initially, they have a certain 'interest value' now?
The only thing about them for me is the way that the prices have remained so high. My theory behind this is that a single dealership has essentially cornered the entire UK market in these and is therefore able to (in a sense) artificially maintain the price...see your latest copy of Total BMW. Try and think when was the last time you saw one of these cars being sold by anybody OTHER than this dealership?
It's a bit like the De Beers Diamond Cartel thing? i.e Diamonds aren't actually that rare a commodity...they just end up costing a lot because De Beers MAKES them 'rare' by cornering the market; only releasing them in an amount that suits their purpose of keeping prices high. I can think of no other model of BMW that has apparently maintained such a high resale value?...Seems the cheapest one for sale in the UK at the moment is still a staggering £57,000 for a 2001 car with 40,000 miles on the clock!
The same people (Hexagon London right?) to a lesser degree do the same with Late Z3M coupes
Love the look of Z1's too, and as an occasional car to covert in the garage make a lot of sense (a Plastic bodied BMW... great mechanics with nothing to rust!) I do struggle to see sale prices asked in them though
