List 10 cars you would have in your dream garage. Now to make this a little more difficult, only one can be a BMW. :D And be practical, gotta have something to haul around the little tykes.

1. 1999 Jaguar XJR ('99 had the best wheels)
2. 2001 GMC Denali C3 (to pull the boat since i'm apparently rich enough to own all these expensive cars :D )
3. 1992 GMC Syclone (the drag vehicle)
4. 2002 Z06 Vette (the track car)
5. 1967 Corvette Conv. 427/4spd (who wouldn't?)
6. 1970 Dodge Challenger Conv. 426/4-spd (If i'm all Vette'd out)
7. 1995 Porsche 911 Turbo (993) (the all around car)
8. Land Rover Defender 90 (the light off-roader)
9. Jeep CJ7 fully modified (the heavy off-roader)

1. E30 M3 Evo 3 or Cecotto
2. 95 M5 Wagon
3. Koenigsegg CCR - Sexiest supercar on the planet.
4. Ferrari 575 Maranello F1 - What better car to drive long distances in?
5. Mercedes Benz G55 - Bad weather...
6. '63 Corvette Split Window - Because its just about the perfect muscle car.
7. Jaguar E-Type (British Racing Green, of course) - A classic, nothing quite as beautiful.
8. RENNTech E or S Class with the 7.4L V12
9. Porsche 993 Turbo S or a now legal 959
10. I guess something stupid like a McLaren or an Enzo, just to say I have one.

And I'd find space in that garage for a BMW K1200 S.

EDIT: I missed the one BMW clause so I guess I'd ditch the M5 for a Rolls Royce Phantom or a coach-built Bentley Arnage Wagon.

what's unique about the E46 M3, its heavy. '95 M5 has more hp, and is a much more rewarding drive.

If you're rich enough to own 10 of those cars, you're rich enough to build a 10 car garage ;) :D

Yeah, forget the cars, I just want the garage. Then I could actually park inside! :)

Ok, let's see:

1 - 2002 M5 (I love E34's, but that's just the way it is. :) )
2 - '65 Corvair Corsa Turbo Convertible
3 - 1995 RX-7
4 - Ferarri F355 Targa 6-speed (My favorite F-car)
5 - Lotus Elise (HPDE car)
6 - Chevy 3500 w/Duramax (hauling/towing)
7 - MazdaSpeed 6 (winter car)
8 - 1990 Corvette ZR-1
9 - W140 S500 (only because I can't have a 750iL)
10 - 1966 Corvair 4-door hardtop. (emotional attachment)

my best friend's first car was a '66 Corvair Monza Convertible, the 140hp (i think) with a 4speed. That was a FUN little car.

I love that car. So beautiful. I have a feeling that when I get out of law school an E30 M3 will be my first "big" purchase. White on black (if i could get that M cloth though I surely would, remeber my 5 is cloth!). T-Stars, Evo2 front spoiler/Evo 3 splitter, Evo 3 rear spoiler, 2.5L. I'd keep it forever.

Have you read the article in BMW car a couple years ago on the E30 Alpina B6? Worked M30 in an E30 M3. Amazing car, just a little too front heavy.

i would like to check out one of those beefed up m3s, i was not impressed with the power of the 88 i built a while back for the boss, it handled nice and felt better then my 325 at 120 or so but in a drag it was only slightly faster then my 325, and i have a lot more mods on the 325 now and want a rematch but we sold it, what torque?!

E30 M3 is not about torque or acceleration at all. In fact, to get the kind of numbers for 0-60 and 1/4s you see quoted you have to drive it like you stole it. What it is about is sustained velocity. Get her up to speed, work the shifter to keep it in the power band through the twisties many much more powerful cars will have trouble keeping up. Its a real drivers car. Which is why so many BMW enthusiasts keep them around. Despite it being relativly poor in terms of performance compared to current cars, its about as involving a driving experience you can get. At the price, its unbeatable.
