I know a lot of us play that “what’s my next car going to be” usually like the day after we buy a car. Well I don’t do that much anymore. Partially because my fun hobby has shift away from 4 wheels and into 2. But also because my car is just about everything I want and need. It’s a fun to drive family car that is capable of towing a boat or small trailer, and has a roof rack. It’s a rolling compromise between owning a 4 door truck, and owning a sports car. Aka between my needs and wants. It also looks great, and is a comfortable car with heated seats, and sunroof. Those are more like pluses than core concerns.
There’s not a lot of cars out there that fit my desires as well as my E90. But the one car is gladly trade it for would be an E61. The bangle 5 series is IMO a great looking car, especially in wagon form. Every time I see this black on I get a bit jealous. I think at this point I’d be safe to say that my dreamiest dream car is a blue E61 540i with camel brown interior and a manual trans. AWD preferably. That probably doesn’t exist but I can still dream.
