What actually is that ?

New m3

Are those exhausts and black trim parts standard ? If so that looks awful

More evidence of the seemingly relentless deterioration in the quality of BMW design.

Indeed. I suspect badge snobbery is a significant factor (as it is for other supposedly ‘prestige’ cars)

The bodywork mods are unforgivable.

The engineering side though????

I’m not too good on Yank stuff from this era but think it might be an Oldsmobile Cutlass from the late seventies/early eighties (Wiki pic of ‘86 Cutlass attached). AFAIK they were all V6 or V8 whereas the external exhausts on this lil’ beauty suggest a four-pot, though I’m guessing they might be for ‘show’

That's actually a 2 door.
The car in question has Chrysler pentastar wheel trims and is likely a mid 80s New Yorker.

Think you’re right, the NYer has a grille like the one in my original pic

Nice Corvair Greenbrier in the garage

edit: the silver limo is a Chrysler Executive, all those mentioned are much the same known as K cars https://www.allpar.com/eek/k/limo.html
