Don't get me wrong the E30 is great. Also have a 09 Tacoma. After driving both on 1000mi+ road trips neither is suited for the task. I need a Grand Tourer. I suppose the 318is could fill the role with some modifications (taller diff, better seats, cruse control, etc.) but thats not what I wanted the car for.
A couple that have come to mind so far.
E36 M3 sedan: I think an M3/4/5 could fill the role. My dad bought the first E36 I had ever seen in 1992 and we drove that thing from Portland to Seattle weekly and it was comfortable enough for me.
E46 Touring: You don't see too many of these. Plenty of cargo room for sure. Are these made in SC or Germany? I think when I got the 2002 325ic I either had to request German made or I just lucked out. Can't remember.
E39: I have always coveted a 540 6-speed. I think the I6 would be a better choice for long drives but a V8 is a V8.
E34 M5: This would be a long shot and most likely $$$ to keep up but it's an Idea.
So tell me what you think of my choices and feel free to suggest something else. Budget wise somewhere around 10k less is fine too.
