1. That's a 518i which isn't a proper BMW
2. Has council front indicators which don't match the rear indicators

That's not an answer. Why is a 518 not a proper BMW?

Having driven a few, I'd have one over a 520. They actually drive really well.

What he said. I used to borrow/work on a mates touring. Was a nice car to drive, albeit a little slow.

The E34 is definitely one of the best BMWs built.

For the exact same reason E36 316i / 318i Compact isn't a proper BMW

But you still can't tell us why.........

[pony]

Because a 518i is shit
Anything with 4 cylinders in a non M BMW is shit

[Blitz]

That compact you had was good though.

It weren't bad
I miss it strangely enough
1 Series is much better

Lol but this is £100k BMW = caked

Not 316i or 318i Compact / 518i = peasant

[rh306]

..it excludes a couple of my all-time favourites too

[pony]

NA 6 cylinder BMWs they been making NA 6 cylinders since the time began
Is their bread and butter / core competency
Shame they never made M8 to production
Would love a go in E38 750iL Y Registration fully loaded

Why is the fronts clear and rear ambers ?
Doesn't even match ?
No other BMW model from Factory has this
they always match clears or ambers everywhere

But that's not a fact. That's just one persons sweeping statement and opinion....

How many of the E46 M3's that you post up, have cracked boot floors and rust issues? Now THATS shit for you!

When the Z3 came out, critics stated that the 1.9 was the better car as the M52 engine cars were too heavy over the nose.

Yes, I would have a six over a four but the 4 cylinder cars are hardly "shit"! I think all French cars are shit. But will admit that's a sweeping statement and they probably have made some gooduns. Although I'd never accept or admit to it

[pony]

A 518i is shit
It's slow its horrible
E34 M5 LE (with amber indicators all round) FTW

[Blitz]

A 518i is good on fuel, fast enough for every day traffic and simple and easy to work on.

I would love a 518g touring which is a factory fitted LPG version.

Look how much space there is

[ross_jsy]

So a car has to be fast to be considered not shit by your logic then?
