Pretty sure BMW has always been like that.

Now 1990's Benz's... that's that good shit

A few minutes after I wrote that, I was out on the road and saw an amazing +/-1990 318i E30. Man, THAT was a car.

Those SLs from the 90s are awesome too!

I mean, don't get me wrong, I like bimmers, I just don't like working on them. Benz's from the 90's were just built immaculately and german-car-electrical-gremlins aside were impossible to kill.

I'm just traumatized from helping friends work on E36 m3's when I was in high school/college.

Ugh that's a lie, late 80-90s Benz will need a complete rewiring. They used a biodegradable coating for all wires, the coating degraded faster in cold and hot markets too. Catastrophic failure in 20-30 years is normal.
