It was just so... American now that I look back.
Red leather, and remember when American cars had red interior door lighting (along with the white)? All fancy? It had like 40 ashtrays in it lol.
It had every feature imaginable, and in 1988 it was pretty cool for "Headlights Suggested" to pop up in the digital display, and that was when you weren't using the automatic feature.
3800 had grunt, Mom would always drive home from the outings if stepdad had too much to drink or something. She'd gun it like crazy driving home. Her car was a 102hp Galant, so I'm sure it was satisfying lol.

I’ve never considered owning a BMW until this engine. Great engine. @Toys4RJill they sound amazing on track. B58 and the GT3 are my favorite sounding engines. Every time I get behind one, I’m mesmerized by its exhaust note.

If you did not see it, I did a Retro-Write-Up a couple of years ago, here in Car Chat, on the original Toronado in 1966.

, you don't need a V8. Although the 4.0L M3 is pretty amazing, to many problems with that engine

I really like the M2.

I've heard a lot about the 4.0L having issues with the Valve Stem seals. Cooling was also another issue I've heard from owners

I couldn't care less how useless of a measurement it is to you or anybody else, since I was replying to this:
...which somehow sounds exactly like a HP/L argument.
Once again:
But yes, I'm surely completely unable to google "b58 max stock internals hp".
You really need to brush up on your ego.
