Video games have come a long way.

This is a slideshow grabbed from the video game "Forza Motorsport 6", featuring an M635CSi in pretty impressive detail.

I think its great younger generation get the opportunity to configure, appreciate the aesthetics of, and "drive" older stuff like our cars.

I might have to, ahem, ask my kids if they want an X-Box for Christmas.

Nice. I used to be a developer for the WWII combat flight simulation Targetware/Target Rabaul, and can appreciate the effort required to get a model like that in game.

That video illustrates it, but I never get tired of the E24 shape. That's why I have another one after 25 years between ownership :)

Thats amazing.....i have forza 3 and 4 and then got very involved with the Formula 1 games!
I thought it was already good with the modifying and customization of the cars on 3 and 4.....but in that video in one shot it actually shows the orange peel on the paint finish, that is just taking it to another level!

Forza 2 is still my favourite driving game: the subsequent games looked better, but felt less like a driving experience.

Now I only ever play the Der Reise zombies map, which is even further removed from the driving experience!
