The old 6 series was a lovely car. The new one is so ugly you have to be over 18 to look at it. ::)

Absolutely. A mate of mine has just bought a mint 1983 one. Not a mark on it. Bodywork immaculate, interior immaculate, 20k miles on the clock.

What's up with me? I'm lusting after a BMW. :o

Kevin


I would certainly agree with that.

I would also mention the 840 as being a BMW that one could justifiably seek and maintain some semblance of dignity.
