What’s your top 5 BMWs ever to own, money no object?

Post by shuey » Sun Jun 28, 2020 10:11 pm

Curious to know what everyone’s top 5 BMW’s would be to own, money no object, in order of preference (feel free to add why if you picked each).
To start you off here’s my “work in progress” list:

1. One of the below
2. 1M coupe / M3 CSL E46 (manual conversion) / M2 CS (2020) (still deciding which one)
3. Z8
4. E9 3.0 CSL / 507 coupe / Z4M coupe (still deciding which)
5. Z3 M coupe (how it looks) / e34 M5 Touring (rarity) / e61 M5 Touring (because of the v10)

If anyone needs some inspiration, check out autotraders top 100:
https://www.autocar.co.uk/slideshow/100 ... -bmws-ever

Would have love to do a top ten poll, based on points awarded by order of preference, but not sure that’s poss on the forum - if anyone knows, then let me know how.
