Cars are looking great but all much look the same.

Whilst out in Cirencester today spotted this beauty , what a subtle understated car! Sounded like thunder.





What other cars stand out for you?

That’s bloody lovely. The E39 and E46 M cars we’re both so pretty and well proportioned. I think they peaked with the E46 CSL for me.

I regretted not buying a cs before they sky rocketed! Cardboard boot foolishly put me off!

for me the absolute pinnacle is a facelift e38 sport, perfection in the looks department, they have all been downhill from there.

Me too, I’ve got one but this one looked epic!

Wonder about values off to go look!

That is nice, but I cant help but like the E34 shape even more.

Remember seeing an E34 M5 driving past me in edinburgh when a poor student. Promised myself one there and then...still hasn't happened!!

I also prefer the E34 to E39, I have had 2, no M5 though, got close with a 535i manual, which was a delight.

I currently have an E46 325i saloon, which is quite understated, which is the way I like to roll.

Also have to agree on the E38, one of those is definitely on my list to own at some point.

Mid 2000's seems to be the newest I go with cars, there is not much later than that, that I would be desperate to get hold of.

typical - live in the area for 20 years and never see another one - move and they start popping out of the woodwork!
they are beautiful - and awesome cars - just driven mine 2,000 miles down through France to Spain and back on a 2 week roadtrip... (not added up the petrol costs yet!)

Where you based?

Fuel will be a lot less than the toll fees

Sorry, have to agree with GtF there, it's just a standard boring German rep mobile.

If you want pretty go watch Bangers and Cash on Yesterday TV. Loads of cars, many ugly, many beautiful, none of them bland as that BMW

You. Can't. Punctuate. Like. Someone. Younger. Than. You...also, he's not wrong. I agree. I wouldn't remark on it if I saw it parked. It's just another German saloon.
