Favourite pre 90's BMW's

[Andre3000 55]

So i was watching Lethal Weapon 2 a few days ago and it starts with a car chase. Anyway, the vehicle being chased is a e24, which eventually crashes, a bit of a shame but oh well.

I though to myself "f**k thats a hot car".

Just thought id start a topic on what your favourite pre 1990 BMW is

My vote is for the e24 M635CSI

There is nothing cooler than an e30 M3. End of story!!!!! 850s are pretty awesome too i reckon. And i wouldn't turn down an e24 635 come to think of it!

ALL HEIL THE E30!!

e30/e28/2002/e23/e24/e9 how can one decide?

[Cale 36]

Impossible to choose.

Give me 5 seconds to choose one and it would be a close tie betwix e30 M3 and e24.

myn old trusty 2000

850i 6 speed

850i 6 speed

You can't call that pre 90s can you?

[bravo 35]

easy. M1.

But on a more realistic note - I too cannot choose. 2002 turbo, M3, M6 (e24 635CSi), all so badass.

[Nobimmer 694]

2002 turbo

[westy 614]

3.0 CS, similar to the one just sold on trade me.

Possibly the best looking BMW ever!

Ok,

So I know it wasnt ever anything other than a styling excersise, but it did spawn the M1, so I think it has to be said there is none better than the Turbo, and thats saying something from the man who believes there is no better BMW than Jimmy Richards Grp A 635.

And yes I know the pic is of Dennys old car not Jim's

The E30 M3 on S14.net with the M5 twin turbo in it has to be my favourite

Sorry mate there's just no way that can count pre '90 is pretty clear cut

[Andre3000 55]

Thats why bmw annoys me... Do ALL there cars have to be so goddamn sexy? My ideal garage would have at least 5 bmw's before any other make lol.

I think alot of manufacturers made some hot cars pre-1990. The jappas of the 90's (and even 80's alot of the time) don't have anything on their earlier stablemates.

Sure I can say it is pre 90's. They only made 47 in 1989, sure only one was an RHD car and it was an auto, but there were 5 manual 850i's made in 1989

Anyway the shape was all the same through to the 850CSI's and later 850Ci's. In fact they made 55 850Ci's in 1999 and 253 840Ci's in 1999, a 10 year life span!

E9 3.0 CSL, but the later model with fuel injection and the 3.2L motor. Full bat mobile kit, Heidegger Gruppe 2 arches and and alpina rear valance. In Inka Orange.

So pretty much like this then:

Alpina E30 B6s......if you don't know what that is youve been looking at too much common junk.

I see your e30 B6 & raise you an e24 B7..............

[rxsumo 33]

How about the first affordable M car...the E12 M535i?

The E9's are pretty cool, the only problem is the rust, the factory assembled E3's were bad enough, the Karmann assembled E9s were shockers.
