The amazing BMW 2002 Turbo is both extremely rare and loads of fun at the same time.
This great article from Petrolicious really sums up so very well why so many people are turning to cars built prior to the year 2000, which was 6 years before all hope was lost, and we progressed to where we are now. As this great article says "despite how far we’ve come with turbo technology since the early 1970s, I still think lag in cases like this is something to embrace. It’s a similar situation to the manual transmission versus blip-quick automatics—there is no question about which is quantitatively superior, but what’s so exciting about efficiency anyway?".
