lawl at the probe. my grandmother owns one with this ridiculous candy burple paint.. i used to fear that it would be my first car.


otherwise, impressive collection of bmw's. so you have an e36 M3, an e30 M3, an e36 320i, and a probe?

why THE FUCK do you own a probe?

Sexy collection! 1+ on owning the Probe....

x2 that's a ton of REALLY nice cars.

I don't own a Probe, but I've driven them and gotta come to its defense. Sure they're not BMWs, but as the PO said, they're nice cars in a lot of ways. Quick, wonderful sounding V6, good handling. I even think they can be made to look pretty good. Only real downside for me is the interior is pretty ugly. Especially the steering wheels!

I think the Probe GT is a neat looking car that combines some of the better aspects of American and Japanese cars together; I was looking for a daily driver I would like but not love so I could treat it more like an appliance and just get in and drive it without becoming attached to it.

That strategy did work well for over 2 years, but the special insurance policy on my M3 meant I could never take it to work, so I wasn't able to enjoy a car that drives very well much at all even in nice weather... and it eventually wore me down having come from the 325iS. I wound rethinking my decision and realized I would be happier with something like the 320i I eventually bought while not spending much more money overall over the Probe GT - I just have to keep the 320i maintained but not fix it up too much cosmetically so it stays on beater duty.

Once you're able to appreciate a BMW of this vintage it's hard to go back to driving something less satisfying - especially when these cars can be had so cheaply now.

I wondered who ended up buying that E30 M3

I hadn't seen an opportunity like this one for an E30 M3 for YEARS.

Welcome! Ive always wanted an e34 m5. and that is an absolutely amazing example of one.

Love the M5! it looks perfect!

I'm definitely keeping an eye out for another E34 M5, preferably low mileage in silver or metallic grey with sport cloth interior. I don't ask for much. ;)

I know the colour you're talking about, and it is truly hideous. It's nice to know I have similar taste in cars to your granny, though! :roll:

Yep.

Thanks for the welcome and comments everyone! :)

Very nice collection! I recall seeing a Probe GT slammed on some BBS RS a year or two ago and it looked amazing. My roommate in college had one and I have to admit, it was a decent car.

Congrats on owning some of your dream cars. Any other aspirations of cars yet to own?
