The head light thing is a BMW flowfown. The at least as early as the 1995 e38 has the same feature.

I actually much prefer the simple designs. Most new car rear ends are too busy. I much prefer this:

I regret selling my e39 M5. It was beautiful, fast, comfortable. I got the itch for something smaller and more nimble. Sold the M5, now, two years later they are appreciating.

I understand this and followed through. 21 years old, fresh out of engineering school my twin brother and I went in half and half on a beautiful e39 M5. We didn’t regret it one bit. Our mom thought we were crazy, mostly because it was a stick shift, and kind of expensive. She later fell in love with the car and was…

Definitely no need for a beater. I had never driven a stick in traffic, just muddled a few times with friends cars in closed situations. Then I went out and bought a pristine BMW E39 M5. I basically thought myself on that. It was a rough first week be we made it, no damage done.

Gosh, you all drive expensive cars to insure, I love driving late 90s early 00s cars, so much cheaper.

The Tacoma and 4Runner look fantastic. If they would bring a similar style to a car I’d be super thrilled, kind od a Scion TC but with a blockier front end.

The mini is worth driving but you will feel like it is very big around you. Good luck finding a JCW at a dealership. You will however find manual Mini S, every dealer has at least one on the lot at all times.

This article just makes me want an e39 wagon with the S62 engine and six speed out of an M5 swapped in. I’ve seen a few and gosh are they awesome. Great sound, blood thirsty engine, manual transmission, wagon utility with e39 wagon looks.

Afew daily driving a 60s British Roadster with a zero to sixty of about 16 seconds, I’ve decided that no modern car is too slow for modern traffic as even that roadster is more tan fast enough to keep up with 70mph highway traffic. Just have to plan your maneuvers.

Frequently, I would get in my parents 97 Zj and stomp my left foot to the floor looking for a clutch to start it. After daily driving a manual I found myself always by for a manual in the Jeep. Always dissapointed not to find one.

Though some of the non top trim level cars can be epic in their own right. The e36 328is comes to mind. I completely agree with your assessment on the M5. I owned an e39 M5 and can tell you, it’s a whole different game from the 540i. The M5 was so much more than 25% more power, it was also an amazing interior upgrade,…

I always wondered why the icy road warning on my e39 M5 was the same chine as the chime of death. Always scared me every season when the weather got cold.

That is interesting, I would have expected higher.

My craziest has definitely been a McLaren P1, just driving through an old residential neighborhood in Erie, PA. There are lots of exotics at the local colleges due to the foreign students but a P1 not near the Universities, for that matter is just crazy.

The BMW e36 328 requests mid grade. It’s the only time I’ve purchased that fuel.

An before the Germans did it, the British did it. My Austin Healey Sprite rides on skinny 80 profile tires with flexible real wire wheels and handles like a little go-kart. It doesn’t have huge grip but it knows how to take a corner.

When I was fresh out of college in 2013 making good money, the car I bought was a stunningly beautiful 2002 e39 M5. My friend bought an ATS with the 3.6 V6. It is a very good car, the 3.6 is a darling of an emgine, but the interior of the ATS is such a let down. Not very good looking or comfortable and the cue system…

I want 90s splash graphics to make a comeback.

They haven’t ballooned but they are appreciating. Over the last five years, their prices have about doubled. It used to me $12k was the top of the market, now those cars list for $25k.
