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..

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

Brought back to life

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
