About China's Coolest Cars
An extremely beautiful BMW 5-Series Touring, seen close to the Third Ring Road in east Beijing in 2014.

The E39 BMW 5-Series was manufactured from 1995 until 2004 with a facelift in 2001, this is a pre-facelifted car.

A brilliant first generation E12 BMW 520i, seen on a car market in Beijing in the winter of 2019. It is only the second E12 I ever saw in China, after a red 528.

A beautiful dark green E34 BMW 525i sedan, seen in the far outer reaches of the Chinese capital Beijing. The Bimmer stood on a sandy and dusty parking lot in front of a residential building, between all kinds of normal cars, and yet somehow it didn’t look that much out of place. The 525i seemed in a good shape and well-maintained, with a smooth body and without too big dents or bruises.
A super speedy E60 BMW M5 sedan, seen at FB-City in Beijing. The beastly Bimmer looked as new, inside and out. The dark silver shade looks great on the M5, and its design has aged well.
An incredible clean E39 BMW 530i, painted in a classic shade of white and fitted with sporty M-style alloys.
A fiery red first generation E12 BMW 528, seen parked on the pavement in east Beijing, right in front of the apartment building where I used to live. The good Bimmer was painted in a very pretty cherry red shade. The chrome was a bit dusty but in good shape, and it stood on period wheels. Sadly, a part of the bumper missing and the car was clearly in need of some love.
