You might not need this car, but you will definitely want it. And that's not because the wood you find on the interior is real wood and no fake veneer, or because it satisfies your unhealthy habit of smoking both for you and your rear passengers. Or at the back, you've got a massive glass area, meaning you have ten ten visibility. This is the 1974 BMW e nine and where the BMW stereotype started. And you can say the car that changed BMW forever. And this one sits on these gorgeous 17 inch BBS wheels. And if you want just some light fresh air, you turn this toggle to open up a little window, which opens up a nice airflow for your hands when driving. You get not one, not two, not three, but four horns, and it came in a four speed automatic or a manual. And to open your door with no visible handle, you put your hand in here and you pull on this better. And this is a car that if you know, you know. And if you don't, well, you probably drive a BMW x three. And it has a three liter straight six engine producing a 180 brake horsepower, and this is how she sounds. Yalla.
