Bavarian trivia thread...

[genphreak]

If you have some interesting BMW trivia, feel free to post it in this thread.

eg.
1. Why does this work like this, or
2. that fit something else in such a strange way,
3. or why did this guy do this...

Anything trivial, somehow related to BMW is acceptable fodder.

To start:

Q. What is it that is so damn good about the e31, e32 and e34?
i.e. 518i-540 & M5, 728-750iL and 830i-850ci?

A. Apart form the obvious, I came up with a good one yesterday- 2 rear doors fit neatly in the trunk- and it closes perfectly!

Never thought I would be confirming the car is handy for trips to the tip

And on second thoughts, will an e32 7 series take a pair of i or maybe even iL doors in the same way?

LOL... or for dragging good parts back home from the tip!

Top tip tip:
... and don't forget to bring your e34 home...

Can't think of anything right now other than the obvious, why does the hood open the way it does. And I don't have the answer, but I know it's cool.

Might have some trouble fitting the rear doors off this one in the trunk!
