Great post Parker.

Check out this video a graphic designer made about his 1987 325i which he bought 20 years ago.  In my opinion German cars are the best in the world.

Agreed.  A Supra based on the 6 series sounds good to me.  The Toyota 86 proves they can still make a sports car.  From everything I've heard it lives up to the hype and is every bit as entertaining as the original.

Well, the E30 was/is the winningest chassis in German DTM history. And their interiors are all business...but you said BMW is pure crap---BmW has won at Silverstone and has won at Nurburgring more times than any other manufacturer. They also won at Lemans, and have won F1 races as well (BMW-Williams), they have won other touring car races as well.

lol yeah he way obviously on something to make that statement BMW is one of the most storied and successful car companies in the world. my first car was and old classic 82' 320i. loved that little thing but i totaled it  :'(. got a 328is a few year later but i always dreamed about getting a 95' e36 m3. whenever i get the money though, im in love with the GTR. its one of the best cars ive ever driven.

If you listened to the end, the dude said he bought the Mercedes, and it will be going BMW beside his e30 (Im guessing M3).

I know of a girl who used to drive an 320i in high school, in fact, I might see if her father still has that car.

If your a man and can't afford the larger models don't buy one of these cars. Whenever I see a guy in a benz 250 or BMW 321i it's just looks like you can't afford the model you really want...

5&7 series have gone to electric steering, gone are the days of "feeling"...
The old e21 320i was a tossable beast, a good car for the under 5k, you can turn it into a track day beast or a daily driver.

that was the plan was to go Autocross. Weird, but the lack of power steering really made u feel connected to the road.
