This didn’t help my already high desire for an e36M3. It’s my favorite of the 3s. Best looking, intoxicating sounds, great handling, and not so much power as to make it a hoot to always wind out. I love the way the e36 cockpit wraps around you everything is perfectly placed.

With a convertible top, a dash mount really cleans up the top of the windshield.

A 1986 Benz 420SEL looked just like this. My parents hated mini vans.

I agree, especially with the Switch gear. My Austin Healey Sprite has very satisfying switch gear that is solidly mounted, you know when you actuate it. The gear shift has a very positive engagement, the manual steering with the huge wheel is super precise. The manual non assisted power brakes provide infinitely more…

Scion tC. I love the look of the rear pillar and generally the whole side profile. They always catch my eye on the street and were available with a manual transmission.

My favorite interior hands down

BMW has been doing this since at least the 90s. It was always annoying since the chime used for the 37f signal was the same chime used for check engine and service lights. When you heard it you were always startled thinking you might have just heard the chime of death, just to look down and find its cold out.

If they bring over the powertrain options, the Opel Mokka is awesome. When in France I rented one with a 1.6L turbo diesel and a 6 speed manual, it was wonderful. The spunky powertrain felt just like my Mini JCW. When I got back to the US, I decided to test drive a top spec Chevy Trax ( the same vehicle) and was…

My Austin Healey Sprite and my friend’s Suzuki Samurai. We are ready for all the wonderful top down cruising as well as racing without breaking any speed limits!

Its a clown car!

My free hand me down Oldsmobile from my grandparents has been awesome. It has been one of my my dailys since I got my license 9 years ago.

I have gone to the Detroit show with a large groupof friends every year for the past four years. You would consider us tourists as its a 4.5 hour drive to Detroit. However this year we are considering doing the NY auto show just to do something different. The Detroit show is pretty much the same every year and every…

The way manufactures use to dress up high profile tires is white stripe or white wall tires. I have them on my Oldsmobile and they make the 15 inch wheels look like 17s

Hmm, non of my family’s 15 plus year owned cars made the list. Jeep JZ, BMW e38, Oldsmobile 88.

Last time I tried super sports on the snow as soon as they touched the snow it stopped moving. Literally got my e39 M5 stuck half way out of my garage, had to push it back in. Immediately swapped on the snow tires.

Factory manual e38 7 series have four pedals like this.

There really were stick e38s in Europe, it’s not just a transporter thing. It’s becoming a common swap in them as it is very straight forward and parts exist.

Back when I owned a Lemans Blue e39 M5. It looked the business and didn’t have the boring black interior either, but a wonderful Caramel interior.

Yep, this agrees with my experience getting a replacement engine in my Mini. All of the work was approved by Mini before they would commit to the warranty work. Compression numbers and boroscope pictures were taken and sent to Mini.
