If one includes the C untreeman, it's sausage-slicing ad absurdum.

Maybe they need to revisit why the sharp & flat notes got rationalised in the modern musical scale, before they disappear up their own circle of fifths...

I'm bored.

Yet more mediocrity.

BMW are clearly obsessed with 4x4s...or is it the general market that is obsessed and they are simply providing for those morons?

lol

I created a very similar thread about the X1 a couple of years back, and believe it or not but a clutch of people came to it's defence (or maybe just one massive bell-end of a now banned forum member ). Some even thought if I hated the X1 then I must hate every single German car

The older I get, the more and more I grow fond of old German cars. Hence why I've ended up with an R reg beemer. I had a P reg Audi Coupe before the S and although neither car is as fast or engaging to drive as the S (completely different beasts!) I love the solidity, classic looks and clunkiness.
I guess the good thing is that these older Germans are actually affordable for me and I'd rather have one (based mainly on looks) than one from around 1999 onwards. Especially BMW and Merc - their designers haven't made a pretty car since '99 IMO. Apart from the new Z4 - now that is on my list for in 5 years time when I may be able to afford one!

The really old 2000CS was a nice piece.

I was on track with a Z3M recently. Something quite attractive about them.
But I hated them when they first arrived.

The X5 is the only 'acceptable' style of the crossover types.
But Range Rover do it so much better.
