22: 06 I disagree. Even to this day, the austerity of the design is something I find preferable to today's over-complicated, overstuffed, spreadsheet-centric interior makeup. The interiors of vehicles like these from the 90s have held up beautifully due to the quality of construction and simplicity of design. Plenty of glass too, which always works whereas all the gimmicky nonsense of today's vehicles might not in five or ten years, and then what happens? Digital gauges fail, rear camera fails, infotainment fails, and you're left with a car you can't even drive.

Funny how we laugh at the small wheels, but they are way more practical and the larger tire sidewalls make for a better ride (although they do compromise cornering performance. The lower unsprung weight and reduced inertia helps acceleration too. Nowadays, its all about aesthetics above all else. any performance compromises are addressed by adding power, at the expense of efficiency. ironically.

2: 00. 1968 -1997 Jaguar produced the XJ12. With a V12 engine and I do believe that Jag is a mainstream brand and has always been one, so BMW wasn't the first mainstream brand to put a V12 in their car
In fact V12s were in Lincoln's between 1936 and 1948 and Cadillacs between 1930 and 1937 and these brands are very mainstream (in their time) so BMW is far from the first mainstream brand to do so

My father has worked for BMW since the dawn of time, but anyway, the alleged story of the rear seat belts is so that, in the case of an accident with 2 rear passengers, the angle of the belts would prevent the passengers from colliding into each other. you know because of German math and physics.

Doug this time missing SEVERAL key things in this BMW.
1. The headrests are also electric
2. Under the seats there are also vents for climate for the rear passengers
3. The armrest in the back opens, revealing an oh-so-important cupholders.
Sloppy job, Doug.

Doug the type of guy to be too young to remember the 80s/90s when Euro plates were all the rage, and someone in a state not requiring front plates might actually want a Euro front plate, and even some dealers had their dealer advertising plates in Euro format on the front

Mercedes didn't just catch up. W140 made BMW E32 look ancient. BMW V12 M70B50 was a failure. Not only it had about 100 hp less than the Merc M120 (which was also a lot more reliablie) but it was outpowered even by Merc's M119 V8.

I had a new 320i 1989. The 'S' was used for concentrated screen wash, special screen wash by BMW if the windscreen was iced over. You got a long thick spray automatically as soon as you pressed the 'S' button.

Those belts in the back are for a more elegant exit from the car, so you don't get entangled on the way out. The only reason they are not in the front seats is no place to mount the upper belt.
