Older BMWs?
Cardboard dash? That's a sign of quality.
3 feet of imprecise shifter throw. Yep. That's a true driver's car.

The heavy gauge vinyl is better than American or Japanese vinyl....I'll give them that. But then again, Vinyl was only in the mos base model of US and Japanese cars. Even the 3rd gen 2.5 Camaro had cloth inserts on the vinyl seats
