T-reg must be very late registered. Sat around somewhere unused or maybe an import with a bit of a dvla cockup.

The next shape came out around 94 didn’t it, T makes that a 99?

The driver was probably vaping these days.

My wife and daughter spotted this on the M20. I've never seen one in the metal (and obviously still haven't).

It is not a video, but a screenshot of one. Don't bother clicking play.

I was stuck for an hour on the M25, did see a Bangle 760li. There were only about 15 of these on the road when I was looking for them last year and I reckon only 5 of them are in decent condition so that was proper rare.

Also saw a new Panda. Forgot that was a thing. Looked smart and they’re only £19,000.

I didn’t scroll down far enough to see that message. I definitely clicked far too many times

I don’t hate them as much as I used to, but I can’t imagine ever wanting a Bangle.

This does remind me that I saw a F02 760Li recently. Slight want, but he was driving like a nob so I was able to retain my feeling of superiority.

Feels to me like the Bangle era stuff was the last of the BMW over engineering so I like them in that respect. The V12 in the E65 was a pretty ground up well made design but everything was unique on it. The one in the F02 was just the later 4.4 V8 with 4 extra cylinders and it had all the problems from that, used all the same electronics. G12 they fixed most of the problems so the engine was no longer horrifically unreliable.
Also crawl under a G12 and all the suspension components look like they’re off an ordinary car. It’s not like the old BMWs with huge forged aluminium control arms and beefy aluminium subframes.

Genuinely thought this was some kind of double-bluff, like bart and the muffin.

That was my first thought too, maybe a Rick-roll.
