My son recently acquired an '89 BMW 525i. (apparently, he is not cool enough to drive a Volvo!) I've been studying the Bentley manual, and came to appreciate my Volvos even more. While this is a fun car to drive, has some very interesting engineering, and even has some basic similarities, I really appreciate the simplicity of the 240 and 940 that I have even more.

'00 V70 (even this is simple compared to the bimmer)

'91 245 SE
'88 740T
'85 740GLE (RIP) manual
'84 760T (aka, the money pit), also a manual, but rare I think
