Legal age for driving in Germany is 18 if I’m not mistaken. As in most EU countries. Maybe 17 with an accompanied by an adult.

I’ve a couple of those in the Netherlands. I think they’ve actually sold quite a few here.

Smart move to plan the theft of a thirsty car like that at a gas station.

That sounds right. The Dutch word for hanging also means to attach or mount. Google translate does do a pretty accurate job translating like most Dutch people speak English.

Criminals have guns. They’re not allowed to like everybody else but somehow they don’t seem to care about that. Quite some shootings happened the last couple of years in and around Amsterdam. Always have actually.

Reminds me of Zandvoort somehow.

Unless RWD, then don’t lift unless wanting to activate widow maker mode.

One of the straightest of roads in the area I grew up in was originally laid by the Romans. Those Romans really liked their roads free of bends as that would increase the speed with which their military and goods could move. Also they had some pretty good road building skills for those days and wouldn’t accept having…

For a vehicle that probably autobahns pretty well too its off-road performance doesn’t look half bad to me.

I daily drive a 325i ‘89 with similar milage, although on its second engine (the E30 specialized dealer I bought it from did the most sensible thing and swapped the old M20B20 for a much fresher M20B25). Like many others already commented it holds value well. Depending on where you live parts are still easy to come…

The pigeon carrying the flash drive with the image finally arrived at Jalopnik HQ.

It seems to be quite impossible to share images of said wagon due to such awful image upload errors I receive. Funny how some things never change around here.

I always mix up when one’s supposed to see Bimmer or Beemer, as I don’t own such motorcycle.

Power to weight ratio and torque curve. They mean so much more that HP’s alone. My old 170 HP E30 wagon has a hard time keeping up with some of today’s econoboxes that have at least 70 horses less. Until not-so-legal speeds are reached, that is. The old beemer may have lost some horspowers over the years though, so…

So what happens when a ‘regular’ car, the ole combustion engine type of car, gets hit by lightning while charging, ehr, fueling? Does it have time to show some errors on the dash or does it go up in smoke instantly?

I love the sunroof on my Lachs Silber 89' 325i touring. No problems with it whatsoever. Except for the little plastic bit on the end of the handle having fallen off. No leaking either. Just a lot of fun.

I'd prefer a '89 non-X version, with a sunroof. O wait, I has it.

Average Joe uses sharp knives to cook potentially deadly animals on open fire inside his house. Most of the time he doesn't blow himself up, burn his house down, bleed to death or die of salmonella food poisoning. Don't underestimate Average Joe.

Why on earth would you want to have this hideous piece of, of... I don't even know what to call it — when you could buy the much, much, much, MUCH, much better looking Twingo that shares the same platform? That Twin'fun concept? Brabus can never top that. Never.

O those good old days. I only remember seeing them a few times as a kid before they went out of service because of being too dangerous (helmets!) and expensive. And who in his right mind would wear such a trench coat in a sports car?
