If you didn’t have a BMW what else would you drive?

I don't have a beemer at the moment, & drive a Rover 75. This is mainly because the rover was cheap, and is economical enough to use for work.

I've often mused over what I'd drive if money was no object, I liked the M5 I drove very much, but I imagine I'd go for something British built, so probably a jag.

Difficult choice, maybe a Trabbant or a Kia Rio.  

Seriously though probably something on the lines of a Honda Accord, Lexus IS200, Audi A4  or VW Passat. 

If money no object then an Aston Martin.

Well as I also have a Ford Galaxy 2.8 V6 Ghia (just bought it for the wife to free my car from kids and so I can have more fun with it!) so without the beemer, it would be that. Cost no object? an early Aston Martin Vantage or a DB9 or a Vanquish, or the new V8 or...... another Aston. I do like them, suits me sir!

Pretty much nail on the head for me there, realistic choices. I'm pretty spolied too with the M3 and the T5, but have a hankering after a Focus ST - that modern day quattro sound does it for me big time   Also would love another Alfa, a what you say!!!  A Brera !

But hanging onto the M3 for the forseeable future.............love that car.

there are lots of other cars that I like and as i'm not one for brand loyalty my next car may well not be a BMW, especially given the challenging styling of the latset models.

I like the new Accord and toyed with the idea of getting a 2.4 type-S. I also looked at an R33 Skyline GTS, a Nissan 200sx and a Focus ST170. I'd also love a 300zx TT but was scarred to buy one due to the expense of maintaining them, the potential for massive bills and the really bad MPG. Same goes for a Porsche 944 Turbo/S2.

If money was no object I would get a Porsche 911 (997) Turbo

Excellent question.

Difficult to answer too.

I almost bought a Maserati 4200 GT but the clutch eating habits put me off.  However, if I'd not driven the 6, the chances are I'd have taken the chance and bought the 4200.

However, I'd also be regretting it right now, because I've since spoken to a few people from the UK owners club, and they're not the happiest bunch of folk you'll ever meet.
