Now and then I see some adverts for these models who was made between 1961 to around beginning of the 70s and I can see they are sold of a not 2 bad price at all. What I have also understood is that they have the same platform as the BMW 02 series as well so I will imagine it handle well, but never seen some one take good care of them. So are they wort a try???

In the end they was also made in 15/16 and 1800 series as well

Looks like E28's grandad!! Belive that they were known as 'new class',note the kink in the rear door glass line...

Okay, for me it looks like the pure old E30 4-door saloon version from the 1960s and I think its deadly cool, but to morrow I will maybe get an old school Beemer?

The 2000 saloon was our first Beamer, back in 1970/71. It was strangely spartan for its day compared with many 4 door hacks, but the build quality, handling and smoothness more than compensated. The marque had already gained a great deal of status even then, but Beamers were relatively rare in those days. Its 'cousin'; the 2002 was an awesome little thing especially in the Tii Fraser-Nash guise. Then, before the 'Ultimate Driving Machine' slogan, they used to say "The car in front is a BMW".

You're thinking of Toyota. Back in the late sixties and seventies the slogan was 'Unbeatable BMW'.
'The Ultimate Driving Machine' was first used in the USA in 1976 and came to the UK in 1980.
'Freude am Fahren' (joy of driving) is the German slogan although 'Sheer Driving Pleasure' has been well used in various countries.
