Former E30 project-haver here, I’ll also recommend Bimmerheads and R3VLimited. I too purchased an unassuming though far-from-perfect Bimmer coupe (dubbed “Otto” for its 3HP22 trans) a few years ago. I never could get out ahead of it, and eventually sold it at a loss. When it was running, it really was a treat though -…

Yeah now it looks like a custom front clip fitted to a Corvette. No likey.

No sooner do I comment on the C-pillar of the new S60 than I scroll down and see this BMW render has the same shape. Doubly offensive as the Hofmeister kink is all but disappearing!

Stunning, gorgeous, love it. Ain’t even mad they aped the Maserati C-pillar/window treatment.

Wait, he punished her for NOT cheating?

I’m really hating 21st Century German cars.

That giant blob of chrome at the D pillar is... uh... not good.

For those that are into two-wheeled shenanigans, this same system is coming to FOX mountain bike dampers too.

Funny, I *just* saw one of these in two-door config on Wednesday - it was either green or blue, can’t recall. At the time I was thinking I hadn’t seen one in ages. Sorta carries on the tradition of the Samurai. (RIP!)

I dig the grey body cladding. Reminds me of my Previa.

Re: capability of the current CUV: the first- and second-gen RAV4s with their locking diffs beg to differ. Quite sure this is no longer an option. Latest RAV4 is just 9" shy of the last two generations of 4Runner.

I was very surprised to find it was RHD. Initially, I thought the groom was guiding his bride to the driver’s seat.

Four cylinder E30s are still *relatively* easy to come by (esp those with slushboxes), and swaps to a proper motor and trans aren’t much harder. Jump on bimmerforums or R3Vlimited if you’re really interested. I bought a clean 318i and it didn’t take long before I had several M20B25 motors + trans available to me, and…

Gotta wonder what my M10B18-powered coupe was getting at 200,000 miles if it had 103 hp new in 1984....

A sixteen-year-old 318iS with 8,000 miles for $8K? Wow, that one DID get away. Sorry to make ya feel worse!

At some point (like now, with the Cullinan) retro is just lazy. I appreciate recent Jags for this reason: Callum quit being a slave to history.

Unless the Cullinan is so low to the ground that even shorter people’s legs weren’t left dangling, I think one’s legs would get uncomfortably numb after a short time sitting on the tailgate perches.

Want me to care about an M5? Yank the system that sends power to the front wheels.

Or that a beer bottle can fly. My Red Bull soapbox car campaigns: 2007 and 2014

As well as the Mondial. (Kinja isn’t playing nice with inserting images into posts tonight)
