Yep. I think weight is the primary reason BMW dumped the hardtop on the new model.

There is a Panamera Sport Turismo on there that i was just checking out. Turns out it is 10 miles from my house. That is serious fate tempting right there. It is crazy how often that happens, on BAT, etc (car I oogle is located way too close to home, eliminating the far away excuse).

Sierra Cosworth.

But sadly not the biplane coupe; the four door (Sapphire in the UK).

This one is pretty. And they added a MT. The late 280SL's were nearly all slushies.

If not for the manual windows and no a/c, hmm... Interior pics look newer and cleaner than the ones I had when they were new. Outside of blemish on the bumper below the diver side headlight, the exterior looks fantastic, too (save the unfortunate two-tone color combo)



edit 12/19/20: added the updated image URL
How did we miss this auction:
