I remember being able to park my 750iL with impunity in the rougher parts of London, for some reason ...

In my opinion, if you have a bmw, you don't get old because they really are a drivers car that have the performance and handling to satisfy the 'boy' (or girl not wanting to leave women out!!lol) within us all! Old mans cars are the Mercedes Benz! I've driven many more of these than beemers (as part of my job, not entirely out of choice!) and they may have the luxury, but in no way can they match the agility and performance of a proper german car! I have had the BMW bug for about 6 years now. I had an e 28 525e which was immaculate and only cost me a waterpump in 2 years. Many may say old mans car but all I got called was a pornstar! My next was an e34 530iSE with 17" momo alloys and Schnitzer body kit and suspension. All I got called then was a drug dealer! I now have the best car I've ever driven. My pride and joy is another e34 - 540i touring with M bodykit and suspension, fully loaded and with 6 speed manual. A car which an old man would struggle to handle I think! Anyway, I'm 27 and still firmly believe myself to be 18 and probably will be for many years to come! especially as long as I have my 540!

Just turned 35 on last Friday E39 535i Alpina Style Previously 320i Convert, 323i, and a few RX7's and other dodgy ricer gear. How things change once you've driven a decent car!

I bought my E39 528i SE Steptronic in September '05. I'm now 26 years
old....I thought I was the youngest E39 driver ever...but obviously not!
I was after a comfy car that could do long journeys in comfort, and with the most 'pimping' interior available in a car for 5 grand available I think I've achieved that! I also get the old man jokes from my mates, calling it a "tartan rug battle cruiser" an other 'amusing' phrases, but all of them that have been for a ride in it have been well impressed by how luxurious and silent it is. They then stop taking the mick, and go back to their Jap supercars that are tuned to the point that they blow up monthly! Martin, 26 and 8 months |

Triumph Speed Triple 2006, and E39 528i SE...not bad for a 26 year old!

Back again people...I forgot to say how impressed I was first time I
put it in Sport mode and stamped the throttle through both kickdown
stages at 80mph (on a track of course..lol!). I was AMAZED at how hard
it pulled though to the road running out. These cars are serious
Autobahn burning machines, if a bit sluggish round town with an Auto
box.
Nowadays, I pootle around at 55mph in Sport mode, waiting for somone in a Corsa / Saxo to try and overtake, before I hit the kickdowns and blow his doors off. This car has serious mid-range, and its only a 'six-pot' Martin |

Genius! Respect to anyone still cruising around in a Skoda Estelle. The Rapid 120L coupe is most definitely the poor man's 911. Under the bonnet of my chevette is a bog standard 1256 pumping out a wholesome 55bhp, it's just the golf GTi in question had a massive sound system and huge bodykit, meaning it weighed slightly more than the moon. It was still a very satisfying victory. |

I thought I was the only man alive who had ever compared the Skoda 136 rapide coupe to the Porsche 911. (I know you said 120L but its just a generational thing... mine is the big bumper model like the 964 porsche). I'd love to have one of those now. They are not that cheap you know! a good air cooled rear engine coupe from the eastern block. What could be more fun? |
