Guten Tag! :D

In the late 1980s, BMW took an incredible step outside of its usual convention of design to create the BMW E31 8 Series of 1989, a machine that was not just a pretty face with its exceptional low, smooth body with pop-up headlights and pillarless window, but was also a technological tour-de-force with incredible engine and performance management functions that left the competition looking archaic by contrast, though all of these assets came at a terrible cost, one that, combined with bad timing, turned BMW's flagship for the 1990s into a forgotten machine.
