Iconic sedans

Love them. Not sure why but as I've aged, these sirens sing their song louder each year. Modding them seems to make them even better!

Anyone else fond of the old gals??

Going on the record as hating eddie914 and SoCal911T!!!

In fairness, I'll admit to owning an E34 M5. As nice as it is, E28s are all sorts of sexy German.

Friend of mine had an 528e with a 5 speed, hence I was always working on it. I did love driving that car though. Never driven an M5 of that vintage, but it has to be nice.

I had a 635CSi I wish I would have kept. Black with red interior. That thing was classy.

Ok but you're doing better than me--I've only owned one P-car and it was a disaster And a lot of 914's are pretty sweet themselves!!

N Cheese,

BEAUTIFUL 914!

If it wasn't for duck tape and safety wire my 914 might fall apart ...

I owned a 1978 BMW E12 530i 4-speed many years ago. I remember the wheels were so light I could lift one up with just my pinky finger. It was one of the best cars I'd ever owned and I still miss it

The E34 is the last BMW that interests me. I love both the E28 and E34.

What about the original Porsche sedan?

Too many to list...

Mid-'80s Benzes
E38 (seriously)
late '50s-'60s Cadillacs
'80s/'90s Volvos, but I like wagons better

Basically I have no taste.

I had one of these for 30+ years and finally sold it. It was a nice autobahn cruiser. Bought in Germany when I was stationed over there in '72.

Because it's not a sports car shape...So, it's a sedan.
