Will your next car be a BMW?

Squawks · 12-01-2005, 01:18 PM

Next car, 335Ci. The M3 is overly expensive and probably not suitable for a daily driver...or is it?

Very far down the line, hoping for a toy/track car as well. Porsches are nice.

rag21 · 12-01-2005, 02:58 PM

my next car which will hopefully be coming in a month or so will most likely be an 06 civic si.

I know its a step down in most respects, but i want/need a cheap car that i can have fun with and it doesnt get any cheaper or funner than that.

Yaajer · 12-01-2005, 03:23 PM

Next car is gonna be the 1-series for my wife.

gdcwatt · 12-01-2005, 04:06 PM

I'm waiting to see how the new 3 does in the snow, with snow tires, of course. I've got teenages learning to drive, we like to ski, and we drive a lot on secondary roads.

shuzmaker · 12-03-2005, 09:31 AM

This.

SCA · 12-03-2005, 10:48 AM

If BMW produces it, I will own one. 1-Series coupe or whatever they decide to call it with an Motorsport (M) engine. What will kill the deal? The car being too heavy and loaded with electronic gizmos that are not needed.

Xens · 12-03-2005, 01:15 PM

CPO E46 M3 baby~~~

I have to get myself one before they become too old, think about it: THE most powerful and last M3 to bear the legendary BMW I6 engine. I'm planning on selling one of me kidneys so I can get it sooner.

ed328ci · 12-03-2005, 01:19 PM

Depending on price, my next car may well be an Audi A3 3.2.

When I start to actually make money, I want to get a BMW x5

I love SUVs.

Best get a 2005-2006. Prior to that the S54 was a nightmare.

Yup, that's why I need to sell my organs, lol. Seriously speaking though, in 2-3 years I'll probably be able to afford it.

the*saint* · 12-03-2005, 06:14 PM

It's odd but I'm subconsciously visualizing a BMW stable. Even as I mounted winter tires on my e90 a few weeks ago... i thought about getting an X3 as my winter beater.

For the consummate bachelor lifestyle, I'd look into the new Z4 coupe as I always like its styling-- and a fixed roof would be bliss for Canadian weather. To pursue a family life, I'd consider a 5-series wagon or an X5 altogether.

Only thing for certain is that the BMW brand is corrupting my brain's decision-centres.

NaTuReB0Y · 12-03-2005, 06:40 PM

I'll let you know in 3 years.......and 50,000 miles.

A good built car like everyone says it is shouldn't break down yet....right?

Jimifighter · 12-03-2005, 07:13 PM

Going to pass this e90 on to my son when he turns 16...then an M3 for me...would eventually like to get a 6 series.

red_wagen · 12-03-2005, 07:17 PM

Yup. Not sure whether wagon or sedan but leaning towards wagon

YV1 · 12-03-2005, 07:29 PM

I love 3 series, but nothing better than a Porsche 911.

Curt3s · 12-04-2005, 03:53 AM

I'm planning on winning the Lottery. (and getting someone at Ferrari to sell one to me )

E90-4life · 12-04-2005, 07:02 PM

If I don't get a 3, then I'll for sure get this.. what I almost bought a year ago...

That's the "DUB" edt. 07' Tahoe. Normally I hate SUVs, but I've always loved "Tah's" as my friends and I call them... Anyways the new Tahoe gets about 20 mpg, which is great given the amount of power from the new Vortec V8(it's got the displacement on demand tech as well, major factor for milage). To boot, I'm 6'6", and though I don't carry people around, would be nice to have a car w/ a capacious interior. We'll see... either or it will be though, that's definite.

E90-4life · 12-04-2005, 07:11 PM

few more pics..

ward · 12-04-2005, 08:06 PM

that thing gets 20MPG just like everyone here's 3 gets 29MPG

more like 16MPG (not that I'd care if it performed, which no truck does)

good for old GM that somebody's wanting one, now if they could only make a car that anyone would buy then maybe they wouldn't be bankrupt in 2 years

findtom · 12-04-2005, 09:06 PM

I love my E90 and would love to have another BMW after this one.... and another after that.

I'll probably get the 3-series coupe depending on what it looks like when it comes out. Maybe an X5 depending on the budget.
