I'm really glad that none of the cars featured here so far have those fugly large angular grilles found on many contemporary beamers. Classic kidney-shaped grilles are the only way to go.

Yea, they started to lose certain aesthetics around the e46 or so. That, and they started to put too many gadgets on their cars! Who needs variable-ratio electronically assisted power steering? or for the rear headrests to lower when you go into reverse?

Yes, silly gadgets-creep is prevalent in most new vehicles, except maybe some bare-bones fleet-vehicles. 

As for those rear headrests, contemporary cars have full 360 degree view on the entertainment center screen when in reverse. Who actually twists their neck to look through rear window, or looks at the rear view mirror when backing up? Well I do, but I own small inexpensive car with a crappy rear-view camera with a tiny screen.

Not sure why, but I kinda like this car!

Me too. Something about European style and the torque thrust wheels just works, and it's not in perfect condition either. Equal parts classy and trashy.

Hard to beat a 6 series BMW. Normally they would have some sort of BBS wheels rather than the Americans that are usually on an American car.
