I actually dislike the BMWs before 1996. The fronts and backs werent very nice. However, the 2000 BMW 740il , 2002 745li, 2006 750li & 2007 Alpina B7 are all very cool and interesting cars! I used to own one of these, my friend owns another and Ive rode in all except the B7. In fact I didnt ride in the 750li, but a 760 V12 as it was the first ladys car!
[{{ Unfortunately when i owned a 740 I was too young and couldnt drive:( not that I can now either :( Probably in 2 years Ill be able to get a trainers license permit from the US and drive a bit on the roads of Pak. Then in another year get a full license as in America the drivers age limit is 16+ . }}]
From other series, I like the 03-04 3series , 1997-2007 5 series, all Z models, most M models after 98, and the 6 of the present...and these are my views
But always in the timeline, BMW appeals more to me than Mercedes. Same with Honda & Toyota / Acura & Lexus. Honda & Acura are sportier and appeal to me more.
