I'm a fan, great cars, had a 328 back in the 90s, was a pussy magnet, sold it to buy a Range Rover, well that was a kunce of an idea, thing cost me a fortune to run.
they make shit good, havent had a bm in ages, but some of the clever things i remember from my old one were:
Battery in the boot, so not subbject to engine heat
Air filter is a cassete type, one clip, slide out, tap the bugs and shit out and push back in
Mine held 7.5 liters of oil
Water never sat on the car, designed so it runs off, even the door handles were lift type on high side if the body crease
No dust trap corners on the dash design, just wipe no need for cotton buds to get the shit from the corners
Rear seatbelts came out from the centre and cliped in at the door side, so if you ever had a baby seat in the back, you'd know how much easier that is to find the buckle rather than feeling behing the capsule
windscreen wipes covered like 90% of the windscreen and would switch to intermitent mode at the lights, back in the early 90s that is.
Was a 5 speed auto back than
That is just some of the things I recall, very clever in design.
You dont appreciate how good they are until you jump in a local shitbox back to back.
Im looking at getting a car for myself late this year, went to hsv dealerships x2 because i knew the earlier ones well and did some research.
even their new vf model which is $100k is lacking some basic things that are standard from bmw years ago
So now towards end of year im getting an e60 m5 (v10 5l). They can be had for under $50k
E60 ran from the early 2000s to 2010, replaced by the current F10.
The M5 if maintained is OK, but if the they skipped the frequent and expensive maintenance, like the arse end works with constant diff oil changes, rubbers, bushes, seals, adjustments besides the front end maintenance, you could buy yourself a very fast bucket of problems.
Took a mates brand new m4 for a blast last Thursday, it's the lite or whatever they call it now which is the bare bones model with the carbon roof. Only car I've driven that comes close is a Porsche gt3. Last of the m3's and the new m4 Just a fucking beautiful machine, absolutely spastic with the traction control off lol
Previous m3 felt like it pulled harder across the whole rev range, the new 6 in the m4 revs like s fucking motorbike and has more poke but I felt the v8 was easier to drive, felt easier to drive fast, the m4 is more a race car drivers car I feel. The Beemer is the poor mans supercar.
Also don't ever buy one unless you enjoy burning fat wads of cash, 5k to do the breaks, pads and discs get done at the same time, every service there's another 5grand for some shit. Might be a cheap supercar to buy but your still paying Porsche prices on the servicing
