You would want to get all the dies and tools first, the drawings, tech.
info.  But I think, they have used them up already making them into some
different models.  Unless, there is a guy who has bought them before.  I
knew a few guys from the BMW group, the top brass, I played golf with them
every month, and their suppliers of the dies, tools, etc.  I may still find
the contacts if I really search for them, but only if its worth it.
