BMW e34 m5.

Wise choice. For me, it'd be a 1991 E34 M5 Winkelhock 3,6 imported from Europia.

In 1991, BMW asked two of its racing drivers to design their own ideal version of an E34 M5. One of the drivers was Joachim Winkelhock, known for his success on the racing circuit with the Schnitzer E30 M3. His ideal M5 was a lightweight edition, stripped of most comfort features but fortified with additional performance-oriented items. BMW M then offered the public a special edition model based on this ideal M5.

A total of 51 Winkelhock M5s were produced (50 production and one pre-production) during the Spring of 1991, all painted Jet Black (668,) with contrasting lower body panels in Sterling Silver metallic (244). Each was equipped with Shadowline exterior trim, power sunroof, velour floor mats, 9x17-inch rear wheels and a BMW Bavaria C Business radio with hi-fi speaker system, as well as the following special equipment:
-Smaller battery* (66 amp versus 85 amp)
-Smaller gas tank* (80 liters)
-Reduced sound deadening material*
-Deletion of power rear windows, rear headrests, fog lights, headlight washers, vanity mirrors*
-Wider 255/40ZR17 rear tires on 9x17 M System I alloy wheels
-Suede-covered steering wheel, shift knob, shift boot, parking brake handle
-Evolution front sport seats in Anthracite M cloth with Black Nappa leather bolsters
-Red seat belts front and rear
-Special leather service book pouch, key holder and gold pin
*NOTE: These changes reduced the curb weight of the Winkelhock M5 by 88 lbs. compared to the standard M5.

In addition, the available option list was reduced to the following features:
-M rear spoiler
-manual rear sunshade
-air conditioning or automatic climate control (both with 85-amp battery)
-BMW Bavaria C Professional radio with 10-disc CD changer or BMW Bavaria Electronic CD radio

A GMC Syclone or Typhoon. That way i'd have money left over to do what i'd want to it.

[e30s52]

O yes an 3.8L from the mother land.

[Hick]

Minty E30 M3, Hands down

Trade you for an 84 318i

[JasonC]

what truck is that in your sig?

It's a 1987 GMC S-15 High Sierra. Basicly a step up from the base model truck, So it has chrome, a/c, p/s, p/b and a few other odds and ends.

8 good condition bmw's!!!!! seriously a IX for the winter, a ETA for winter and gas mileage, a turbo e30 for fun, a s/m5x swapped one for a nice reliable summer car. Hell, maybe even truck out a 325e for utility purposes. A nice e24. a clean 2002 maybe an e34 with whats left over. The best part is that they wouldn't loose much if any value where as a new car would instanly loose value.

Buying one car is putting all your eggs in one big depreciating basket. But that's just me, i like to live as economically smart as possible because i don't come from wealth and have learned to get by and never waste money unnecessarily.


And yeah i know this is a horrible fuckin answer.

hahaha +1

[PaladinReed]

seriously it is a hard question but i stick by my first answer lol

[FredK]

Nah, your answer sounds reasonable. People get caught up with keeping up with the Joneses. It's a great way to vaporize huge chunks of money that is difficult to earn but easy to blow.

[Dave-ger]

probably a B5 or B6 Audi S4 Wagon, those are sweet, then I'd have money left over to make it amazing. Can't really decide between that and an E28 M5 I suppose. Perhaps an old volvo wagon with money left over to make it awesome, or a toyota mark II cresta wagon...

I would seriously just play it by ear and get the first thing that looked really awesome for me, but that gives you an idea of where my head would be at.

[whiltebeitel]

27K would buy a nice C5 or E46 M3. Maybe a cheap Viper like this.
But for something that does what the old e30 doesn't do so well, THIS would be the shit, rat-rod, more power, and a t-56. It would kick so much ass.

[eurohick.]

probably a real nice 05ish benz E55. 469hp.

i have tons of toys and driveway furniture as it is, wasting another grip on em would just be retarded.
