I don't know about US-cars, the ones that were drained from power and were designed only using a pencil and a ruler (I assume you are from the US), but in Europe we had stuff like this:

Sure, I had to swap out a bunch of parts to get her to run right, but that 635CSI is an amazing 80s car!
One thing I will agree is that quality has dropped even more nowadays. Modern cars are full of cheaply made plastics, even really expensive ones like an S-class, or an A8...
A 200 grand car and it has plastics on the door panel similar to the ones on a USB stick packaging...
That BMW looks pretty fine tbh. Allthough, to be fair, aesthetically speaking, it's not even close to being on par with this classic american one , which has to be one of my personal favorites. Simply staring at it gives me an orgasm, especially the rear.
Thanks, I've been working on that car for 2 years now XD
But I think you're a bit wrong with your comparison...
While I will agree it's an iconic classic, the '59 Impala, I prefer the '55 Bel Air, or a good 'ol Plymouth Fury Christine style, but still... None of those cars are 80s cars...
80s US cars were way too square for my taste, way too similar and most of them in the 90s were featureless blobs...
The best American 80s cars I can remember are the Pontiac Trans Am, the Corvette and the Chevelle.
The E24 BMW, along with a bunch of other BMWs is an iconic 80s luxury autobahn slayer, along with the Mercedes 560SEC, SL, every 80s Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and Lambo. The 80s, 90s and up to mid 2000s were the golden age of European luxury car opulence and quality.
Superb quality, overengineering at it's finest.
Just check out the hood release and close on an E24. So smooth, elegant and classy. No slamming the hood. Gently close it shut with the release lever.
IIN That I hate cars from the 80s?
