      The e39 m5 is nice, but maintenance is sky high.

        Ive been thinking about the same thing at about the same price. A ZHP or a 330i is on the top of my list.

                Jeep Wrangler would be a nice compliment to the E30.

                      Depends on the situation.

                      If I already had something decent and reliable to drive.

                      I'd leave that money in the fucking bank.

                        yes, but you need to spend 10k on them to make them road worthy.

                            Lots of interesting choices for that kind of money. Off the top of my head...

                            Triumph TR6 with triple Weber DCOE's


                            Lotus Esprit S4


                            Mercedes 190E 2.3-16


                            Mercedes 500E


                            Alfa Romeo Spider


                            Mercedes R107 500SL


                            And then, of course, you've got the usual selection of generic, practical cars. The E36 M3 and WRX come to mind. But the choices I listed above are much more interesting IMNSHO.
