30 years ago the 530i first came out and was battling the new small Cadillac Seville. 
Seville (206 inches long, 4,300 lbs) $12,479 180 hp, 0-60 mph 11.5 Vs 530i (190 inches long, 3,300 lbs) $9,187 176 hp, 0-60 mph 8.7 seconds.

You still see a few old E12's around in mint condition and they look great. I remember my father wanted one back in 1977 but went for a Renault 20 instead 
. I also remember as a kid seeing them come up behind us at high speed on the motorway. They were cetainly head turners.

When i was 12 years old, this was the car of my best friend's father. And believe me it looked a great car to us at that time. This is for sure one of the reasons why i am driving 5 series now!
I used to drive with them on summer holiday from Brittany to the Alps, and there was no speed controls... We only feared the fast Alpine A110 and A310 of the motorway police. But there were not many

Thanks for the welcome!
Ha, ha, serious old skool. Long before the Northstar 4.6 Caddy Seville was hunting the e34 540i in the 1990s. 
That's what cars looked like 30 years ago. Those were the days of the Mazda RX4 and Datsun B210. I think Seville and 5 series were chosen by R&T in their 10 best cars of 1975.
Datsun economy
Mmmm,....fastback!
