I hadn’t appreciated how much these have gone up by. The base cost is more or less what I paid with £10k of options. The new car appears to have a worse dash layout too.

I’m struggling to think who, for that money, wouldn’t just take a basic spec B5 instead.

The B3 tourer is daily hack perfection for me.
I hope to own a G21 B3 some day, but looking at the new instrument screens (it seems i cant say cluster in this instance) i'll be looking at pre facelift G21's...
Those screens are an abomination in my opinion and the problem is you have to sit there looking at them!

the screens on the facelift literally look like the design team have nailed it on. We can thank tesla for this shite

That article forgets the E30 c2 2.7s were the first fast 3 series estates in this country. They sold alot more of them than E36s aswell
