Motorbikes, hmmmm.. there are some very nice beeemers, but I like these new fangled "cafe racer" thingumybobs, and the boxer engined R's just look bang on.

Some lovely bikes and cars so far, but the correct answer is mine

1989 E30 325i Touring
The BMW batmobile(3.0CSL) is the winner for me especially in this colour.

All the modern ones look carp in comparison.
nothing screams "mid life crisis" more than Estoril Blue
That american keeps calling it a Coop, and he wears driving gloves...
It's all about context - no good just being able to look at it if it is sat somewhere boring in a garage...
Oh - and

I think you'll find drug dealer red certainly does!

Not for everyone, I know.
Is that from the new Transformers movie?
That Grinnall doesn't belong either, regardless of the engine, coz Grinnall
BMW was founded 101 years ago today according to tinternet.
What do you think is the best looking BMW of all time?
It's got to be the K1:
Shudders... I'd forgotten that thing ever existied. Horrible, slab-sided monstrosity. Awful n crosswinds, top heavy, vile, buzzy, gutless engine... did I mention top heavy. I used to be a motorcycle journo and the editor of the mag had a K1 as a 'company car'. Every so often logistics would dictate that I had to ride it. I used to dread the prospect.
To be fair it was uglier in the flesh than on paper.
This one - great bike, beautiful, fairing worked really well. I owned a turquoise one

Not very exciting, but I've always liked the shape of the previous generation Z4 Coupes.
My Z4M looked exactly like that.
For me, the 507 and the Z8. I love that even today - almost 20 years later the cabin and dash of the Z8 still look fabulous.
The i8 simply because it makes me feel like I'm living in a sci fi film.
Alfa Romeo, though, is a company who know how to make a good looking car

Shall we put that myth to bed now?
Not their finest moment, it didn't work, bit of a disaster.

Just because they know how to doesn't mean that always do 😉
As posted a few times above, the E9 coupe is lovely.
Liking the new R9T Racer too

I bought a K1 when they first came out. I thought it was quite fugly.
The best motorbike was the R100R in black IMO. Everything sorted out, and well balanced, but I like the look of that R9T Racer^ although I can't manage the monkey pleasuring a coconut riding position anymore. Just paint it black and coach line it properly.
As for cars, they haven't made a good looking car since the 1950s sports car.
The late 70s M1 looks great but it does look like the result of Maserati/Lotus experiment

Guy down my road has an M4 in Signal Green, which I think looks ****ing awesome (as a non BMW fan)

I also really like the i8. Had a drive of one in one of those experience day things, felt very much like a normal car but bloody quick. It's weird, nothing like any of the other cars I've driven in the same circumstances (R8, V12 Vantage, MP4-12c)
BMW Sunset......

I've got my xdrive 3 tourer for day to day service (which I sadly take far too much care off, but I even used to polish the old bangers I drove years ago). I think I may look at the latest Z4 manual when the second had prices drop as a bit of a fun car when the wife and I are without the herberts. Kind of a future classic.
Are you me? I could have written that word for word! 😀
I've always quite liked the compact for some reason....

But the 2002 Tii Turbo is the ultimate!

E46 CSL, purely for the way the rear arches sit around the rear wheels. Absolute design perfection!

R12 for me.

503 - Classy.

Maybe a 315?

I'm definitely getting old, because I'm absolutely loving boxer engined cafe racers..

Not just ‘boxers’, but this might interest you:

Heh - love the Bike Shed's cocktails, too!

BMWs modify nicely

I feel their older cars were far more iconic; they seem to have lost their way in the last ten years or so though. Some of the new "M" models remind me of cars my mate used to design (on Need For Speed).
THese things still look good, even today.

Ohhh.. thanks for the Bike Shed link. Just around the corner from the Appt.
