Why we love old BMWs

My first 3 cars were white Hondas. Called them the white ho 1, 2 & 3. Great cars. Sometimes I wish I stuck with Hondas…. Hahaha simpler times. With much less maintenance issues.

Lightweight FWD cars with high revving low power engines are a ton of fun.

I think about picking up a 1995 Integra Type R all the time.

When I first got my e82, my friends were cracking jokes that I finally got a car from this century and all the first mods I did were to take it back to '90s era.

Feeling a lot of what's been said in this thread.

I had one of these videos recommended a while back, couldn't deal with the excessively fake AI vibes so I couldn't get through it, but I appreciate that it made a good talking point here.

My favorite car was my 1989 Mitsubishi Mirage Turbo. Only made for that one year then they moved onto AWD with the Eclipse and Evolution. I’ve owned many cars since then but my newly acquired 135i is the first one that brings back the feeling of driving my Mirage. I finally gave up trying to find one but I found the perfect replacement.
