I will be happy to get a nice '90s 740i / 750i for the other half... But of course I would have to drive it when we go out together...
Now if I could get my ex-wife's made bad credit cleaned up...

E34 M5...I HATE THE NEW ONES...too many problems, they don't make them like they used to. I had an E46 330cic for three years
(Gave it back in October) It was in the shop for a total of 5 months out of the three years I had it!!!!!
At one point they even replaced THE ENTIRE ENGINE!!! |

I'm shooting for something completely different, a black, M3 convertible with the dove grey interior. |

JRS is hooked on the Mmmmm's!
The new M5 is king though. An F1 inspired V10 making around or over 500 horses. And what's the redline? 8 or 9K?
INSANE
I can't graduate soon enough |

Drive one and you will be too... Own one and you will understand... Maintain one and you will know what a 'love-hate' relationship is all about... |

What are any of the specific differences between an M and regular E30 on the cost of maintenance? |

My next one? Hmmm.. I am tall and the E30 is almost too tight (closed in) for me. And am thinking of looking for a 5 series. Someone mentioned a 540 model. So that is a 4 litre what? Anyone have experience or info on those cars. Could anyone discuss which of the larger models are best recommended? I would be looking for some model that generally is less expensive but could be tuned and spiffed upwards. |

Mostly Engine and suspension. And keep in mind that the E30 M3 wasn't in mass production.

I love a lot of the cars I've driven recently. The soon-to-come M2 looks awesome.
That being said - I'm quite happy with the cars I have right now. I plan on driving them into the ground. And I think they'll both last a while. |

I agree M2 looks good. Also an e46 m3 may be in the cards. I have to wait 2 more years to afford to insure one (i pay enough for my 325i as it is!) so by then a lower mileage example will be right in my price range |
