So true. It’s just the best.

Great car!

Looks almost identical to the Volvo T6...

T6?

I have two cars with straight sixes (one N/A and one turbo) and every time I jump into my car with a turbo five it feels like a coffee grinder...

Damn. This is just too far. Sacrilege! Forget Brexit, if this happens Britain will have well and truly turned its back on the world!

I had an ex with an E46. When she was younger she confirmed 140 (at least from the speedo). Dead of night.

Love this. I’m a millennial. I have a professional job and I live in the city...with two BMWs and one strange manual Volvo. The only reason I got instagram was to find more car pictures. We’re not all basement-dwelling failures who trade car keys for iPhones.

Haha. That’s probably where mine is too...

Yeah, but the V70R puts out 300 bhp out of those 2.5 liters. It’s similar to the hot hatches he’s considering.

I’m with Kristen. Keep it and get a V70R or S60R.

I remember having this matchbox as a kid and being so shocked that it was an Oldsmobile — or any GM product. I sort of viewed it with a suspicion that was probably deserved for that era of GM cars but still thought it looked pretty cool!

Is it just me or are there a huge majority of Toyota products as the main offenders? So grounded to the ground they can’t see the lights...

I really hate the BMW/Corolla thing. You know Toyota will ruin the chassis and this, eventually, will continue the decline at BMW from a high-performance niche manufacturer of tools for going fast to a bullshit “brand” of imagined sportiness for poseurs. I know it’s an economic necessity and that BMW is hardly what is…

Thanks! It doesn’t have the Atacama leather, sadly. I looked for that forever but couldn’t find one in good shape that also had the manual like mine does. I LOVE the midrange. I also have a Dinan BMW wagon and that M235i but the S60R is just unmatched for long trips. Those seats and that highway passing power! Then…

For you then. Swapped out my M235i for this when it got shitty out.

What a gorgeous “survivor.” I recently bought an S60R to feed my swede but have always lusted after these...

Agreed!

I’ve sat in both and owned a Volvo. Believe me (and most of Jalopnik) when I tell you that there is no better seat out there. Seriously — I’m pre-disposed to BMW sport seats but they don’t hold a candle to the Volvo seats. It sounds cheesy, but they’re magical.
