I might get shunned for posting an Integra in here but this ITR was absolutely pristine and unmolested.

Says don't touch the paint but...too late


















AND




Let me finish my collage this summer, go back to my work.
First gift will be W123 for my dad
1984 brown w123 was left to him from his dad, I still remember driving in it, but they sold it with my uncle back in Istanbul
Anyways.. they are so cheap here, so will buy one for him
Probably won't be able to find a MT but anyways..







I remember he had a second set of interior console inside the garage, he did leather seats to it and did power windows to it and more more more hahaha
that's like before 1994
Grandpa passed away at 1989, 18 days before I was born

Is this the finish that you aren't supposed to wash like a normal car?

I wasn't sure if they called it the B7 in the body style so I wasn't really sure which thread it belonged in. Didn't look like the stock BMW wheels on it though

They downgraded their badge. The E65 B7 was based on the 745i engine, but supercharged. A real B7 looks like this (notice the spoiler, and exhaust tips):

The guy that owns KC Trends here in Kansas City bought one of these. He put new wheels on it and then traded for a Maserati Gran Turismo.

Thanks for the info. Everyone please disregard my negligence Hopefully I'll see something better eventually but exotics aren't a normality unless I pretty much go to the other side of my county to the rich parts

Hand brakes are for drifters, not luxury cars. The brake belongs on the floor.

Even Acura figured that out in 2004.

It would be silly to compare anything in the RL to an M5 except for the interior and dimensions. I just remember seeing Tim's old M having the hand brake and wondering, "WTF? On a $80k+, 2 ton sedan?" It's bulky, unsightly, and out of place on the console, especially if it is on. But that is just my .

I didn't either until I got an RL and realized how much cleaner the console area can be. The new electronic brake in the bimmers is way more appealing. Does your new one have one?

Nope. The 3 has an actual handle. I guess I kind of like that old school thing...that Genesis I (might have...) briefly owned had the button style and I was never really that into it. Neither would be a deal breaker for me though.

Thought those pictures would suit better here than talking about a hand brake or especially someone's taste.

I really wondered who is the person that said, no dealer pics here but don't want to know and make this a bigger issue.

What I think is, this is a thread to show more details of the cars, for example how they stand on the road or some details of the cars.
Unlike a simple car walpaper. Or a picture of a car that's 1 mile away.

This is not a game thread, and no need for the word "Sh*t"
Oh by the way, I wasn't running around dealerships. I was there for 2 days

See where all this comes. Wouldn't waste time to explain all of these, common sense to a grown up, just sharing a picture but...

Don't stress it. It's just an Internet message board.
