If you could own one BMW for the rest of your life, which one would it be?

jmg · 07-26-2018, 04:55 PM

A MINT white E30 M3 EVO with less than 10k on the odo.

Captain Blood · 07-26-2018, 05:25 PM

Why has nobody mentioned this car?

E30 M3. Why? If anybody has had the pleasure of seeing one, riding in one etc.. and has a taste for classic cars you'll know exactly why.

BayE30 · 07-26-2018, 06:38 PM

e30 m3 Evo 2. Then drop an s54 6spd w/alpha N tune and CF intake manifold. good forever with that.

Efthreeoh · 07-26-2018, 10:57 PM

Z4 3.0si Coupe.

Great car.

Questofthetune · 07-26-2018, 11:00 PM

Z8 forsure- I’ll sell that baby and finance my mansion

svp1818 · 07-26-2018, 11:07 PM

where's the love for the 507?? Every year at Legends at Laguna Seca it draws the most attention... gorgeous car!!

turo329 · 07-26-2018, 11:19 PM

If I could own one BMW for the rest of my life. Assuming as a daily driver it would be an E39 530i Sport,540i Sport or M5. Take your pick the E39 was and in my opinion still is the best. That or an E38 740I Sport. All of these cars have comfort, speed, daily usability and still look great. Would be great to have a Z8 or E30 M3 or older school 3.0 CLS but if its a daily driver nothing really beats an E38/E39.

JimVonBaden · 07-26-2018, 11:24 PM

R1200GS. You didn't say it had to be a car.

B58 parts · 07-26-2018, 11:53 PM

This one would be ok

I have one of those! I got a new M240i but couldn't part with the ZHP.

silvergreye46 · 07-27-2018, 11:40 AM

Possibly an E46 M3, difficult choice!

vgore · 07-27-2018, 12:15 PM

M4 GTS is the best M has to offer as of yet so I'll stick with that.

jeff@autocouture · 07-27-2018, 12:29 PM

First choice
My old E24 I sold with an S65 swapped into it

Second choice
British racing green / cinnamon, 2011 Comp, slicktop, 6 speed, fold down rear seats, E90 M3

BimmerMat135 · 07-27-2018, 11:06 PM

With a 6MT swap this should do the job.

same problem as the E90 in the original post - that would be a wonderful car if they'd started with the fully optioned 4.8is E53, not the entry-level 4.4i

1MOREMOD · 07-28-2018, 10:02 AM

Who needs options besides gun and and ammo storage for zombie apocalypse?

Mint E39 M5. The last dependable engine the M-division built.

StuP · 07-28-2018, 06:06 PM

One without a turbo or computers, so I could keep it running.

Great car. __________________ A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
