If you can only have one car (BMW) for the rest of your life......

Ehh Maybe...

Same here. Since it's my only car forever, I would want one loaded with all the new tech (internally and externally), fairly light, powerful and is able to achieve decent fuel consumption lol.

Probably the Alpina D3 then..

canukgtp · 12-24-2013, 10:18 AM

Final year E39 M5 everyday day of the week and twice on Sunday...it's classic BMW and the best looking one for me

robbiefeld · 01-02-2014, 10:16 AM

E30 M3. It defined BMW in so many ways.

AMPowerJ · 01-02-2014, 08:57 PM

I miss my E90 M3. I might get a new M3 this summer or find a gently used E90 M3 again.

cooticooti16 · 05-03-2015, 12:40 PM

I was going to start a new thread on this... So here it goes...

I would say the E39 M5 that I had, but my old E90 had more tech and was AWD which helped during the winter.

But, I could live with a E60 528i xDrive M-Sport for the rest of my days over the E90 based on its slightly larger back seat, very similar weight, and good old fashioned spare tire.

God I miss those.

i already have my perfect BMW. and the perfect car for me. Honestly if i never bought another car again i'd be perfectly content!

BMW269 · 05-03-2015, 01:20 PM

There are many BMW's that come to mind, so it is hard to chose.

1 Series M (E82)
M6 (E63)
M5 (E39)
M3 CSL (E46)
Z4 M (E86)
Z8 (E52)
X5 4.8si (E53)
750i (E38)
B12 5.7 (E31)

But if to have only one car for the rest of the life (don't really know what that means), I doubt it would be a BMW.

MattBianco · 05-04-2015, 11:14 PM

this, or in CSI or CSL:

NickyC · 05-04-2015, 11:18 PM

Z4M Roadster.

Bryant@TMB · 05-04-2015, 11:53 PM

E24 M6, that car just has unbelievable class

bmw1racer · 05-05-2015, 12:16 AM

E30 M3 Sport Evolution.

BimmerMat135 · 05-05-2015, 04:20 PM

E82M! When electric cars will take over it will a good way to remember bmw's as they were.

jose325i · 05-06-2015, 01:02 AM

I think I would go for a heavily modified e46 M3 ZCP. The looks and S54 sound are just too epic, it never gets old. Probably with Supersprint headers and race exhaust. Maybe even straight pipes.
my dream setup...I'm sure you have all seen this before (skip to 40s):

Reason I chose the ZCP over the CSL is that I would never dare to modify a CSL haha.

newoldbeemer · 05-06-2015, 01:21 AM

definitely e92 m3.

Jamesons Viggen · 05-06-2015, 10:44 AM

My perfect forever BMW DD:

E46 325 Touring with OEM M3 bodywork.

S54/6mt combo built up with a MaxPsi stage 2 turbo kit.

Steeler · 05-06-2015, 11:03 AM

Never have and likely never will but the 507 is a pinup I have drooled over forever

That and its not like we have a choice here in the States.
6MT is another huge reason

davis449 · 05-07-2015, 08:39 AM

All things perfect, i.e. I am capable of doing A LOT of the maintenance\repair work myself and have the tools to do so (including a lift), then I'd have to say 2006 e46 M3 Comp. Package (6 spd., NOT SMG). CLOSE runner up would be a 1M followed by a 2003 e39 M5.

Billup · 05-07-2015, 09:24 AM

Z8. Nuff said.

954Stealth · 05-07-2015, 12:55 PM

I would have the freakishly styled i9 or just something with a M12/13 engine in it

termigni · 05-07-2015, 01:08 PM

i'll take a M4.
