"Alter Ego" - Glen Shelly Auto

Alex McCulloch explores the unlikely origins of his enthusiast automotive business, Glen Shelly, through the lens of his M Coupe and a winter desert road trip.
Purchasing the business from another pilot in 2015, he decided to build on the name recognition and now has unwittingly assumed the identity of this alter ego.
Between the challenges of keeping the business alive, brokering the sale of hard-to-find models, his day job as an airline pilot, and an affinity for the race track, does it make sense to keep the Imola Red Z3 M Coupe that started it all?
The result is a trip to rediscover his roots and to find clarity on a work-life balance, all in the name of preserving the “era of greatness” that Glen Shelly specializes in.
Special thanks to everyone who has made Glen Shelly possible, our present and past employees, our extended family, Bimmerhaus, Simply Clean Detail Studio, and Nate Bloom.

This dude speaks the truth. I have a small collection of classic BMW’s including an M Coupe. I do all the work myself. I drive them all the time. No garage queens.

I loved Z3s ever since I was a kid growing up in the '90s. I had models of the M Roadster and Coupe. There's something about the shape of the Z3, the way the beltline curves back from the kidney grilles all the way to the rear. I was very lucky to be able to buy a low-milage M Coupe in my dream spec (slicktop silver over Nappa black) a number of years ago before the prices exploded, and I have to pinch myself every time I climb in and turn the engine over.
