I get the impression that BMWs don't handle as well as drivers think, or BMW drivers are just lousy drivers, or maybe it's just German cars, or German drivers.

Are these all professional/sponsored drivers?  Why do all the cars have advertisements all over them?

That is a beautiful car. I had a Blue 2002 530i Sport for several years. It was a fun car to drive but it eventually had more problems than were worth fixing so I had to get rid of it.

Couple shots on my way into the office. Still can't help but stare at it!

PS work took away my garage parking pass because I'm traveling to a client site Mon-Thurs every week, so I'm left to the surface lot. But found a big spot!

Loving the size. Without trying I've hauled more cubic feet of crap than I would 6 mos in the Jeep. Got a 4-ton utility a shelf setup at Costco last week and it was a piece of cake to throw in the back.

:lol: Be careful it's easy to just see stuff and buy it (since you can get it home).

FYI my 2012 Odyssey pulled Miata from VA to SC a few years back. They can pull quite a bit no issues. (Avoid tons of shifts to be nice to the transmission.)

There are a bazillion BMWs there. There are way more decent drivers, but obviously they're not exciting to put onto Youtube.

Quote from: MrH on March 20, 2024, 08:05:35 AMWow.  That seems like a great deal?

The radiator and the generator is missing and the rear bumper is laying on the ground underneath the car.
Supposedly it was donated to the San Diego Auto museum and they decided to sell it.

That's freaking OE paint and upholstery. No goddam rust! How many '50s rides are cherry? Not many. Wish I had a bunch of cash. I'd be driving this one. A '59 Edsel...LOL.
A conversation piece for sure.

Wow.  That seems like a great deal?
