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

I dont really know to be honest, brand loyalty makes it so much easier! Volvo's were and are my first love so to speak and i still collect them but i tried last year to have a T5-R as a daily driver but it drove me mad!

I did think of an S6 there before i bought the M3 but for sheer reliability i would be tempted by a TT Supra or an R33 Skyline GTR. If it wasnt for such bland interiors.

I have a landcruiser there for daily driving but am tempted to move it on and pick up an E39 of some sort or an Audi A4 TDi 130 if i could justify upwards on 15k on a glorified golf!

Great Q  - the obvious answer for me is an Elise  but it's a case of SO many cars, so little time or funds...

135i coupe, 335d touring, E28/34 M5, E46 M3, Z3M Coupe... any M-Power motor would do though, several Mazzers, a 993 C2 preferred but any 911, RS4 Avant, NS-X, S2k, Any Jag-R, SL63, TVR Griffith, Exige, Mustang, Noble, Weismann, 550 Maranello, Clio V6..... I need to stop or I'll depress myself. And that's only the aspirational stuff! If I got into the volumes of dodgy old motors I'd love to own, I'd be here for the rest of the day.

This has been for sale for nearly a year now I'd say... some motor. I remember CARs report on it back in the day being tested by Paul Frere. Maserati Karif

I never thought I'd ever see a point in my life where any car manufacturer made an entire range of stunning cars! Check out the VX range and prepare to be amazed! (IMO anyway!)

I couldnt agree more, i have started working at the port in bristol and all i deal with all day is vauxhalls and i have had the pleasure of driving a few VXR corsa's (dont laugh) which are suprisingley well built and quick 1.6 turbo i think and a completley different animal to the normal ones and i have driven a VXR8 not very far but driven all the same and i would buy one - i cant believe they are vauxhalls

I forgot about that one.

Wonder how much it will cost though.  Would be good value used though if previous Vauxhall residule prices are anything to go by.

Me too. I love Porsche 928s, the trouble is even though you can pick good ones up for well under 20k they still cost the same as any other 70k supercar to run.
