Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

I really like these Tourings.

A diesel? eww. How about a nice N54? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_N54
Those original cross-spokes are lovely. There's not enough cross-spoke love these days.
Beige is a bit brave isn't it?

The beige is awesome!

I'm all about the diesel love though, my Mum has a new 320D M-sport. Epic drive. I want a daily too and I do about 1,000km a week. 50mpg is pretty enticing.
