One of the most action-packed videos shot lately on the Nürburgring consists of a veritable duel between two significantly different takes on a performance car.

The 7 Series has been the flagship BMW model for six generations, seven if you count the G70, which is only now starting to reach US dealer showrooms.

During the mid-2000s, before the electric craze, BMW had a bonkers idea – to take the V12 engine of its 760i and make it run on hydrogen. The “world’s first hydrogen-drive luxuryperformance automobile for everyday use” was born, but never sold to the public. Instead, just 100 were manufactured and given as loan cars to…

BMW ended production of the E34 back in 1996 but the third-generation 5 Series is still very much alive among enthusiasts.

Will you have the 1.8-liter four? Can we interest you in the supercharged G60, or perhaps a 190-horsepower VR6? Count the fingers on one hand, and you still won’t reach the total number of engine variants that Volkswagen, through about seven years into the Nineties, plopped under the hood of the now-it’s-here, now-it’s-gone Corrado coupe.…
