W124
bought two W124's...I must be crazy

both are 94 e320s

grey has 70k miles

black has 55k miles

bone dry underneath...new harnesses and evaps on both.

Wow. These cars are awesome. Been a long time BMW guy..including a few M3s. But the fit and finish of these cars just blow me away...as well as the highway ride. I liked the first one so much that I bought myself another (was looking for a wagon but couldnt find one with low miles.) Considering rim upgrades to 16" 8 hole design (tire rack) but otherwise will most likely leave these cars as is....the w124 IS a living legend! Welcome me to the club.

Well I needed two cars as I just came off lease on two cars....and honestly didn't want to spend 50k on an e350. And in terms of the used car market....you just can't beat these for value. I really wanted an estate but good ones were far and few between, and least in my area. We were lucky to find these low mile one owner cars with excellent service histories.

I feel the same way about mine. IMO no car before it or since it has been built to the same standard.
