Watching Good Girls Revolt on Amazon (good show, you should check it out), and I saw this one. What is?

Edit: Thanks to many of you geniuses, it’s been identified as an E9 BMW.

Looks like an E9 BMW to me.

2.8 or 3.0 CS, yeah?

I agree.

Looks like the short-hood version of the E9 which had an I4 engine as I recall

E9 series BMW

I don’t think they offered an I4 E9 in the US. That’s a US spec based on the reflector placement.

Not period (late 60s/early 70s) correct wheels, I’m guessing.

Yup.

God that reflector is awful.

I’m looking at the ‘69 Thunderbird in the second pic.

The lack of “B” pillar is a dead giveaway.

I’m looking at the DJs.

Not as bad as bad as the US spec E28:

compared to the euro spec

The whole front end of the US spec is terrible.

Which is really too bad, imo the front end of the euro e28 actually looks better than the e24. I love the hidden turn signals behind the grill.

There’s also a nice New Look bus in the first picture, next to the Thunderbird before it turns. Stopped, I guess, otherwise the T-bird driver is a legendary asshole.

It’s hard to tell exactly but those wheels might be BMW Style 18s from the early-to-mid ‘90s...not a bad choice for an E9 but obviously not period-correct.

That’s a Jeep. You can tell by the grill and headlights.
