I'd like a time machine capable of sending me to 1967, please. 

The list price on this car was $3,715.70. It sold for $67,000 USD!

That BMW is way more than the sum of its parts. Nicely put together.

Maybe that's the reason. The car is so ugly the driver looks better by comparison. A twist on the old bar scene scenario.

Its appearance is such a shame since it's really, truly good to drive. I suppose that's the reality for most BMWs these days though.

Imagine having to come out to your garage and see it every morning....it would start every morning off badly, like you just woke up after a one night stand with Madonna lol

Starting every morning with violent projectile vomiting?  Well, no doubt some people are into that sort of thing.  :hurl:
