It was in about 1978 when I drove a test drive BMW. Not sure the model but it was a basic 2 door model.
Anyway it was used and I was pretty young. Got it out from some small used car dealer in my town.
Anyway I was blown away by how fast I could wale the thing thru a corner. Basically at legal speed I could simply turn it into a corner and it would just happily do it. NO other car I had ever driven did that. No drama....just a nice clean turn. No tire squeal or anything. It just turned and went. I was quite impressed and never forgot it. Such an unassuming little car and it handled better than anything I had ever driven(mostly north American crap) before.
Anyway I didn't buy it. Just didn't look cool enough for me. I wanted a sharper looking car so bought a Datsun 260Z. Kept it 30 years.
Anyway last year I bought my first BMW an M8 G Comp.
I'm a slow learner apparently....lol
