I remember them well
They stood out with their muscular design at the time. Years later I almost ended up buying an R32 but was disappointed to find out it was a bit too heavy (4wd) and you couldn't hear the engine from the inside (they sounded great on drive-bys). The dash design displays true mastery is terms of using all of the available space, if a bit austere, very typical from German design of that era, many BMW bikes from that era such as the K series have the same quality.

I believe that !
I remember the g60 RallyeGolf and Corrado were a bit slow, even back in the day. But I also remember the many that were tuned to around 200 or even 250 hp, those were astoundingly quick and crazy. If I could own a G60 I would definitely opt for the Mk2 Gt...
