Great choice. The Borgward RS was about 20 years ahead of it's time. I'll look to add that as well. The RS was a little sports racer that ran with different engine configurations. The 1.5 liter was an OHC I4 that generated over 150hp with four valves per cylinder in 1957. Stirling Moss used the Borgward engine in a BRP prepared Cooper to win the F2 championship. Great company BMW: Borgward Macht Weiter.
 
Maybe suggest the Borgward P100 as well? First german car with air suspension and in its day, a serious competitor to the Mercedes-Benz 220.
