Sharp looks, smooth engines: few cars are as cool as a 6-series
IT MIGHT HAVE been a great Touring Car racer, as well as a great autobahn cruiser, yet it was the small but memorable part in the 1980s film Innerspace that first opened my eyes to the E24. The perfect choice for the film's menacing villain, this big, sharp-looking coupé was just about the coolest-looking thing I'd ever seen - and it still looks as good today.

The Magic of a Shadow
Even today, when prices for a good Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow have risen to a level vaguely commensurate with their stunning quality, these are still hugely undervalued cars - victims of their own success, because lots of them are still around.
