Do you get the Roundel magazine? There is an article in this issue on a KILLER 1994 850CSI! Man you would LOVE this car. The owner of this car even agrees -- it's not really a sports car, but more of a GT car (GT = Grand Touring, a fancy name for powerful cars that tilt heavily towards driver luxury).

The 6-series cars are lower frills cars that I consider more of the purer, more traditional type of BMW's that were made in the late 1970's to 1980's. In fact, the M6 and M635CSI are considered to be among BMW's best loved big coupes.

My tastes lean more towards cars of this era. Just my $.02 Some of the greatest cars BMW built are from this era, including the legendary E30 M3, arguably one of the most ferocious M-cars ever made. Just check out what they're selling for these days.
