I would have loved a 124, but they’re so expensive now, and I’m sure I don’t need something even older than this. I think between the 124 and the 210, you really see M-B responding to the surprise challenge Lexus presented in the ’90s. The character of the 210 is much less uncompromisingly German, softer and friendlier and focused on ease of operation and ownership; whereas BMW still saw themselves as playing a different, more enthusiast-oriented game with the E39.
