E30 M3 & Mercedes 190 E 2.3-16V: The Good Old Days

[Chesty Bonds]

I just love these two articles on the Merc 190 E 2.3 and the BMW E30 M3.

It really says a lot about how much the driver 'aids' in modern day cars detracts from the driving experience. Two great no-BS cars that were designed by engineers rather than marketing gurus.

Aren't they something!

Awesome Pete. I'll take one of each , but not in Smoke Silver....had that colour too many times in our Benz days. It is rather drab and stodgy.

Thanks for posting two articles about cars that are meant to be driven, not that drive us!!!

My dad used to have the 190 E in manual when I was a kid. I really liked that car.

Hehe, I thought you'd like these articles. I prefer to drive my car too!
