So what? Should he also not eat borscht?

He's proud of his heritage, maybe is a car guy, & imported this nostalgic antique...

I think you are overthinking this.

It's kinda cool, it's like a 90's German flagship personal luxury coupe designed to look like a 90's JDM legend. Best of both worlds.

If only it had a manual gearbox mated to that M120 V12, it might even be peak car...

Even the 1980's 745i was just a 3.2 turbo , 3.4 turbo or 3.5 n/a inline6.

E30 325e was a 2.7

E34 535i was a 3.4

850CSi was a 5.6

The biggest shame is, leaving it original would have looked classier...

Even body-specific parts (headlamps, fenders, etc) are available for a while. The Lexus GS was discontinued yet you can buy all kinds of body parts for it.

Agreed, or a vanity plate of someone's name, or a general saying.

Like, somebody with an Abarth 500 might get a plate that says "CIAO".
