Though it appears to be painted the standard 1981 E23 7-Series color of Cypress Green Metallic, this well-kept early 7er is anything but ordinary. You see, BMW never built a station wagon version of the E23 7er, but a small firm called Euler did and now one of these rare cars has hit the market.
We're suckers for Nogaro Blue, but this Tailored Driver in some ways brings it back to its roots. But rather than be an Audi massaged by Porsche like the RS 2 where Nogaro debuted, this is a Porsche with Audi's 4.0TFSI slightly massaged by Stuttgart.
This Tailored Driver is an incredibly big swing at individuality, and frankly we're here for it. With a $462,680 original MSRP ($23,680 of it representing love it or hate it Red Violet Metallic paint by Mulliner), and enough Magenta inside and out to make Barbie blush, the original Tailor of this Continental GTC Speed certainly isn't afraid to flaunt. They also seem to embody a "have fun, die smiling" mentality, frankly we'd love to shake their hand.
Though not as iconic as the 2002 that came before it, nor as loved by enthusiasts as the E30 that came after it, BMW's E21 3-Series still captures that classic 80s BMW style and makes for an excellent driver... particularly in top-of-the-heap 323i form. Alas, we didn't get the 323i in the States, which means you have to look in Europe for cars like this private party listed example from Haren, Germany.
If Tailored Driver is about anything at all, it's about the desire to be uncommon. By that metric, the initial owner of this 2017 Audi exclusive Toucan Yellow A4 can certainly be considered a kindred spirit.
