Bmw

I have never been a big fan of BMW, they just don't really appeal to me. Personally I feel they lack the grace of other German marques.

I don't know why but they seem a little ostentatious.

If I had to pick a model I did like from the Berlin Motor Works I think I would have to pick something from the Fifties or Sixties like the 600 series, one of the worlds first micro cars.

This is when they were still trying their best to keep a low profile and their cars reflected this in their humble appearance.

Obviously being racked with guilt over using slave labour at its factories during Adolf Hitler's Third Reich can have a positive spin.

At least aesthetically.
