Yes, in a nice discreet original condition like this (wouldn't want to appear to be posers, would we?).

Best looking?

No idea.

But the 507 certainly is a pretty car.

my girlfriend says the E30 325i motorsport convertible is the best looking bmw ever! after careful consideration and a process of elimination i think the E34 5 saloon is the daddy.
E39 530d M-sport- quite nippy

I can't choose between E3, E9, E30 Touring or '02.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

Not a massive fan of pre 1980's BMW - can't decide between a Zinnober Red M6, or Dolphin Grey E30 325i Sport. :cool:

I always found that when I talk about cars with people about my age they never like the idea of keeping it original or old cars. There all into the newer the better. Were a rare breed.

I think an nice 850csi on some deep dish BBS wheels is pretty hard to beat, until you turn the headlights on :cry:

Agreed that is a lovely looking thing. I am an '02 owner too - I have to add though, although that car is a thing of beauty, you couldn't help but to feel a bit of a plank driving it through town. A little too flashy IMO.

When i was 16/17 i was really into old old fords from the 60's/70's. I used to get so much flack for it and when one of my mates got a brand new peugoet 106, everyone was jealous! Deluded fools!
