What amazes me is how far ahead of the game BMW were back then, I'm comparing my car to modern stuff and it compares!
he knows that. he's not really interested in keeping it, but can't sell it as he's a bit of a hoarder. he replaced it with a tvr griffith 500 alongside a diesel focus as a daily driver so he would never use it anyway. sad to see such a classic rotting away though

The mats are genuine BMW parts and were clean before I started using it, without them the carpet stands no chance!!

The beemer uses loads less fuel than the Escort but it is down on power in comparison

I love old beemers, that is a timeless classic and a credit to you.

My dad nearly bought one a long time ago but bought a shark nosed 525e instead, that was a nice cruiser and it was dechromed too.

i love the 6's
there is one sat on an overgrown cobbled drive near me, it's a red car with a coating of green moss - i don't think whoever owns it will part with it either, more likely to return to the earth
it's a shame, as you never saw them where i live as a kid as no one had the money to spend on a car like that
