By-Tor Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 ive only seen two 8 series Beamers in my life, rare round north america They're very rare everywhere. That series was introduced just when the big 90's recession started. V12-powered very expensive coupe wasn't a popular choice back then. It's a cheapish car in the second hand market now because the maintenance costs can be astronomical. The whole exhaust is over 4K for example. But it's very few cars that has timeless design. Understated and elegant for a supercar. I have always loved the lines of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furu Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 They're very rare everywhere. That series was introduced just when the big 90's recession started.

The whole exhaust is over 4K for example. But it's very few cars that has timeless design. Understated and elegant for a supercar. I have always loved the lines of it. Totally understated car. The Mercedes equivalent W126 560SEC is also IMO a timeless car with superior build quality. But the low prices kill these good cars, many people who can't afford them drive them until the cars are done. Good for me that my dad has got one 560' in really great condition. I really love the late 90's german touring/sports cars, best era! Pic from the web, this one has rare Lorinser wheels (i have 12 of those in my garage ).

By-Tor Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I totally agree. The classic SEC is a fantastic looker. Much nicer than the gigantic CL that replaced it. However SEC has much more vintage look than the 8'er (imho). You could actually drive a 8'er out of the production line today. Yeah these great cars are often owned by rednecks and monkeys. They install idiotic accessories, cheap ass spoilers and repaint them with tasteless colors. Here's a good example of totally ruined and fucked up 560 SEC. But as with the Porsche 928, I'm sure the prices will eventually go up. Nobody wants to drive a Porsche Boxter... it has no character at all. That's why they're cheap already. 8'er and SEC both have classic potential. 90's SL ain't bad, either... but it's not as nice looker as the 8'er (imho).

hiker01 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I graduated from Sports Cars and got more on the Comfy ride.......although they still could haul A$$! 740IL & 745Li 650Ci Now...I'd like the 650Ci done this way: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Hey Hike, the new 7'er is a great looking car. So many people say it's ugly... I don't understand that at all. It's one of the FEW good looking modern cars produced. Very macho and muscular looking. The new 6-klasse ain't bad, either. But not as nice as the original. I've actually driven the original M635 CSi model. One of my friends (who's now in jail, lol) owned one in the early 90's. It had 286 HP which was a lot for a 80's car.

Jkay Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 If we're just spitballing then I'll take an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish please. If we're talking for-reals, I'll have a nice Audi S8 w/Lamborghini V10 powah please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it came out in '02, it did not really impress me (and so did a lot of people including the pundits), I felt like BMW digress from it's origins! Also the iDrive was plague with a lot of problems (guess what, almost every brand/makeR ARE NOW COPYING IT!). But every year when I go to my dealer for service on my 740, I stopped by the showroom to oggle the 745 and it just started growing on me....and the rest is history! This car is so full of electronics and highly computerized that it's almost like flying an airplane when you drive it........and the comfort......totally amazing! I drove a Mercedes S Class before I got this.......and you really get more for the money (S Class cost about US$10-12K more!). Anyho, no complaints from me! I've been always a Bimmer fan!

chicken_monkey Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Great color! Love the LWB longhoods. Out of curiosity, why not a '73? Just about the same as a '72, but the horn grills were black instead of chrome. 1969 thru 1972 Porsche 911. (Actually well within grasp from a $ perspective) These cars have a great rear end.

Watchmeister Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Life is a cycle.I haven't dreamt cars in quite a while having rocked an E39, Ford Expedition and a bunch of kids for years. I did finally get a nice sedan this year but 10 years from now when the kids are through college I would love to get an 86 Whale Tail porsche. The sad part is I had one when they were new. I guess I would have to call it a mid-life Auto crisis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agp Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) I don't dream too big when it comes to cars, but I'd like to own one or two classic American muscles like the Torino, Challenger, Chevelle, Corvette, and Mustang. I just hope the price won't inflate too much when I save up enough money to buy one! Edited December 28, 2010 by agp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z80 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I have a few "Dream Cars". I suppose my all-time dream car is: The 1985 Ferrari 308 GTSi (yes, the Magnum P.I. car. One of the best TV shows ever). The next would have to be the Porsche 959: A more modern dream car would be the Audi RS5: This is what I'm currently driving (not my pic, mine is too dirty to show right now ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
