It seems like there’s no more BMWs crossing it these days. I assume they’ve all been written off and learned their lesson.
How about not having a sig at all?

I saw another clip somewhere recently with an e90 going through a flood with the headlights completely submerged, and water so deep the rear wheels were lifting and spinning like a paddle steamer.

God knows how it made it, I thought they were notorious for hydrolocking, but it was seriously impressive!

Not the most exciting vid I have ever watched, but hey.

Obviously slippier than it first appears.

In the comments it says Carlos Tavares was the co driver of that Stratos.

Looks great. Had a play on their configurator and easily specced one to £56k.

I usually like quirky, but can’t build up any excitement /interest for these (or the previous 3-wheeler). :?

The compromises are enormous - and the benefits have no hope of tipping the balance back (for me).

I would love to have a go in one, but agree it's too compromised as an owning proposition (same reason I don't own a bike)

I know people have posted it up before, but somehow I missed it. How good is Iain Tyrrell's Classic Workshop? So much interesting stuff and a really nice level of mechanical detail. Yes, he's a bit 'Partridge', but that adds to the charm for me.:lol:

Not the best footage - old school commentary - but it’s 80’s saloons and hot hatches getting a proper lean-on, so it’s worth a watch.

I think this looks great, which is basically the only metric I judge this type of car on now as the performance/tech is so far away from what I'm used to it might as well be a space ship :lol:
