For sure, people at my high school thought my '97 ti active was an almost new car, no joke. Then when I'd tell them no, its actually a 14 year old car they can't believe it. And now with my '02 325ci in bright red with some nice 18in ASA AR9s they think I'm driving a brand new car and when i tell them its 10 years old and has almost 90k on it they don't believe me. Basically, BMW designs cars that are 10 years ahead of the rest of car industry in basic looks and we reap the benefits
