You should drive one sometime.
Nah, :mahtroy: only sees things in black and white.

Objectively, there's nothing better about one than any other FR sports car.

Subjectively, they're a riot with excellent brakes, steering, power, etc. There's "character" and such things that :mahtroy: can't detect.
Yeah, you know me. The one who would rather drive the RX8 than the :poorvette: because it's more fun. All black and white.

Dave sorry I didn't comment on this earlier, saw it and had to jet. These are classic cars in every way, there is just something not quite balanced about the E24. I covet an E34 M5 more for whatever reason.

I'd like to drive one, but fear that I'd not be a fan of the old school steering.

It's a power rack, not too different that what you're used to.
E30 feels decent, just slow, I'd imagine the E34 M5 is a quicker rack.

Every god damn pos from the past is appreciating that’s just full retard.

You can buy a 2015cpo model for the same price but no zee Germans were too fucking busy circle jerking each other and they are epic pieces of shit compared to a car that was designed at a time when we were slurping milk boxes while trying to figure out how to descramble skinnemax

Plz remain calm. Locate the exit nearest you and keep in mind it could be behind you. Your POD will arrive shortly.....

E34's had recirculating ball steering, as did the V8 E39's due to packaging problems with rack and pinion.

My 2012 was Crush Orange. I loved that color.

This is the Mopar :truk: conversion. Legit :waxer: and I didn't even think anyone bought one.
