Damn, this just reminds me of riding in my uncle’s bmw in Miami as a kid. It was the 90s, not the 70s, but still. Pretty similar aesthetic.

yeah! I was convinced I was going to get a Beamer when I grow up, but modern ones look like boring dystopia hearses chauffeuring you to the crematorium.
The M2 looks pretty badass, especially with the fun colors, but it's $74,000.
Not to mention, when you grow up you learn that seemingly everyone that drives a bmw would step over your corpse to change lanes without thinking (or signalling…)
Turn signals are a $1500 option with a vanishingly low take rate and a high maintenance cost (gotta use a proprietary pure synthetic blinker fluid) and monthly maintenance schedule
Reminds me a little of Kitt.
I had an 85, man I miss that car sometimes.
Where's the turn signal?
BMW driver: Exactly.
