Wouldn't know. I don't do cars. I like BMW bikes, though. Had an R80/7
with a sidecar for many years.
I like BMW bikes, and even the imitations (Ural, Dnepr).
I love the Isetta, but somehow none of their cars since then appeal to me.
I played with a NeXT briefly, before release, trying to get a printer to
connect. I'm not sure if I've even seen one since then.

Trying to use it as a computer platform seems far-fetched.
