It's all been down hill since the E46

This is pretty hideous.

BMW are a laughing stock, a mates wife has an X3 and it went into limp mode this week because the tyres had worn unevenly

Hahahahhah no way!!
Limp mode in an e30 is when you run out of oil

Some motor traders are now refusing to buy/sell the modern versions because they have so many problems

Wait until your mate's wife finds out about the "special" (magical?) Active Pedestrian Protection bonnet struts that need replacing every brake service.

Modern cars are crap, plastic horrors. They cost a fortune to service and if you don't bang goes the warranty, usually just before the gearbox goes, It seems all car designers these days went to the same school too. Scrap yards here are 50% newish cars that have been scrapped due to technical issues like the W169 Merc A class, nice car, very versatile, total bugger to keep running. (just an example) Auto gearbox 1st gear clutch 390€ but 900€ to change it.

Buy a modern car for 40k, what it worth in 10 years?
Buy and E30 for 10-15k, what's it worth in 10 years?

What do you think are the modern classics-to-be worth buying in a few years. Will any electric cars last or you'll just be left with outdated battery tech that wont do 100 miles. Love the look of this :

The new fronts on the BM's are to attract rich Russians and third world country dictators - there must be a market for it, otherwise I am sure it wouldn't be done.

I like the look of that Honda thingy. Not sure how practical it'll be if you have to replace the entire exterior whenever you have a bump, but I'll assume the concept will be tightened-up bit.

The benchseat and giant screen hint at fully-autonomous...
