Not really, because they don’t really fit together. Verschlimmbessert is not really making something better, it is trying to fix something and just making it worse. Jasons example would be more like “ambivalenter or zwiegespaltener Schöpferstolz”. He knows it is questionable, but he also is proud of creating a fix. 

I would say "Schöpferstolz" the pride of creating something on your own.

It’s a cool and good looking car, but the trunk is way too small and because of the struts not really usable, also 200 kilometers official range is even for a urban car not enough. If they would ditch the tray for the cables and put them in front and also extend the range to 300 km, there still could be hope. When…

I love Iso Grifos, one of the highlights of being a car guy was, when I was able to sit in an iso grifo and also a lele at a concourse de elegance, only to realize that I, as a tall person, don’t fit in it. There was also Bizzarrini GT 5300 this day, which drove around with it’s v8 rumbling. So it was an all out great…

A “Heckblende” doesn’t have to be translucent. It’s just the word for the trim panel between the bumper, the lights and the trunk, regardless of its material. This is also a “Heckblende”, although it’s only some black painted metal.

It’s “Frontblende”.

One third of my photos persist of strange car pictures, so here are some examples. 

The 6-series has e24 as moniker.

You just have to convert it to European spec and then do a singular technical inspection (Einzelabnahme), most of the time it isn’t as extensive as you describe. Often it is mainly lighting.

Oh I have a good one for this: In 2014, me and my fiance were looking for an oldtimer which we wanted to use as our wedding car. We thought, “why should we rent one, when the rent could also be used as down payment for a nice old car as new hobby”. We figured out, that we wanted an BMW e24, ditching the first idea of…

... and “glanzschwarz” not glanschwarz.

Nice car, good article, only a small correction it’s “stahlblau” not stalblau.

I wholeheartedly support this message.

I don’t think it’s a general bubble, the normal models are just out of their valley of tears, only the good ones survived, so the prices reflect that. The M and alpina models on the other hand are in a bubble for sure. As cool as this car is, it is not a 300k car. But 20k for a 635 csi in good condition with low…

I have a 1984 635csi in polaris silver metallic, which is, although being silver, an excellent color r for the car. But that color scheme you posted is magnificent. I am already drooling over my phone. Its hard to believe that only five to ten years ago alpinas where relatively cheap to get, I know someone who bought…

Understable. But I am a Stihl fanboy and there is never the chance to talk chainsaws.

That’s a Stihl.

This is a r107.
