The 90's were a rough time for the way American cars looked, but this is ok now.

>>15563797
I like the "get the fuck out of my way poor people" aesthetic to it, even though they are cheap as chips. Plus when they are in silver it hides the admittedly ugly headlight shape.

As an american, I still don't like the looks of this thing.

i don't think i'll ever get over the head and rear light shape
it just ruins the whole car, even though the body over all isn't as bad
same for the W210

>>15563793
I always liked them. 5 liter 540hp V10 in a 4 door sedan, pretty cool. Like a street legal, family oriented F1 car alternative.

>>15563841
Plus it makes a godlike sound.

Too bad upkeep/fuel costs were astronomical and we never got a manual in the UK.

The Camaro stopped looking good after 1973. It has never recovered.

Didn't that car have atrocious reliability? SMG transmission and engine.

>>15563951
Since it's essentially supercar dressed up as a family car, everything is expensive. Look up the price of brake discs and pads for them, for example.

I get the feeling if anything went wrong with the engine you'd be looking at idiotic money, but given the E92 M3 has essentially the same engine minus two cylinders and people report they are decently reliable, who knows.

I see them quite frequently in shitty garages in bad shape, it's a shame really. Guess people can't afford to keep them.

>>15563951
the engine is reliable, the smg not so much.
The biggest issue was the pricing on parts

Are you a modern car designer by any chance?

I believe the Pacer has yet to become pleasing whereas this has started to age juuuuuuuuust right.

Thebwhole quasi-retro thing in the 90s and early 00s has its charm I guess. Even the PT Cruiser isn’t that bad.

I agree with this. Styled WAY above their pricing

Yup, BMW ages like wine. First bangleism was shunned, though I admit I love it now.
I mean, the kidneys and the mug of BMW was not rivaled since forever.

Audi has better looking cars now, overall. But BMW is BMW.

With time I am becoming a believer in newer models. (post Claus Luthe).

1st of all I don't own an M5 like in that pic, mine is just a diesel
I started with my first car at 17, slowly saving up and buying better and more expensive cars and I've been working abroad in the UK for some months now so that helped too, so now at 20 I had saved up just enough to afford a 7k € car.
It's my 8th car currently, have had 6 bimmers, an audi and a Merc

>>15568722
Still my least favorite mercedes design

>I thought they were fuck ugly when they first came out.

I feel the same way about the e90 (the pre facelift to be specific). I just love those big taillights...

This is always the problem with BMW. The solution is to buy aftermarket parts from the OEM suppliers to BMW. You get exactly the same part with out the BMW badge and tax.

BMW likes to mark stuff up %400+ it is delicious.

>>15572405
While that's true, it's not much different even with the more common garden variety manufacturers. Buying OEM aftermarket is usually substantially cheaper (sometimes four times cheaper) than the factory part from the dealer.

>>15572416
4 times is the low end for BMW.

I was looking at AC receiver driers for my E36. BMW is $180
OEM is $30
