Bizarrely, they dropped an E30 from a crane in a segment about the death of Saab.e21Keith wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 10:19 am As far as classic BMWs go, I recall an e24 635csi which they destroyed, an e36 M3 which I think also suffered, sure there must be many more.
In old Top Gear Tiff Nedell smoked the tyres off an e39 M5 (reg no 400BHP) which is a classic now but was brand new back in 1999. I remember watching that episode and deciding that I had to have one!
Chris Harris owns an e28 M5 and used to own an e39 M5 (not sure if he still has them both).
Clarkson once owned a 3.0 CSL, but I don't recall seeing anything older than an e30 until now.

That's a real, really old episode... And despite my/our love for BMW, the SAAB did a whole lot better...E21meister wrote: ↑Mon Mar 29, 2021 8:45 pmBizarrely, they dropped an E30 from a crane in a segment about the death of Saab.e21Keith wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 10:19 am As far as classic BMWs go, I recall an e24 635csi which they destroyed, an e36 M3 which I think also suffered, sure there must be many more.

What about that episode with the 3 325i cabrios. Ugly, beat up, cheapest in the market. Some had blood, crap and sperm on the interior... Great episode.

Most of all... Funny that they all ended up with the same car
