Either of these currently. I know white is more of an 80s colour for German stuff, but I’m really fancying a 90s coupe lately



So, I finally did something about this particular obsession and now have this in the garage:

My new RS4, I had always shunned Audi but this is the best car I’ve ever owned, it’s an absolute pleasure to drive.

Anyway, I had some PPF applied and the install lab is connected to a supercar showroom, I walked past the GT2RS, 812 Superfast, 458 and Aventador to look at these beauties. I would love one as a weekend thing.

A Gen4 Prelude was a nice looking car but both had that high revving VTEC and great handling by all accounts.
Was seriously into these as youngster but they were just out of my reach financially -settled for a Hyundai Coupe :-(

I just couldn't get on with the styling in pictures when these first came out. Then I went to the Ferrari museum in Maranello and just couldn't take my eyes off it. Now it's absolutely one of my fav cars ever produced.

Strangely, I've had a real hankering for a BMW straight 6 again. I really miss my E46 325i I had a number of years ago. My obsession lately is for the N52 specifically. No idea on which of the below I should go for though as I've got 3 kids (19 [almost 20], 18 and 9). Options would be from the ones below. E90/E91, E92 or E63.

ULEZ got me thinking deep.

E91 would be super useful, but an E90 would suffice


E92 has too much of a drug dealer image where I'm from. But space probably better than the next option


E63 is the "nicest" out of the 3 models, but not sure I can justify it with interior space if I were to.


But then I'm thinking if I'm going to be getting a coupe, I should just be sensible and get a Civic Type S 3 door or a CRZ.

Male, almost 40, unable to make a decision, likes new shiny shiny but not disciplined enough to keep up maintenance on his cars.

N52s are great, I've currently got my fourth in a manual E90 330i.



It's handy being ULEZ compliant as my sister lives in a London Borough. frown

Which one you get depends how often you'd need rear seats. If fairly often I'd chose an E90 or 91. But if never why not be selfish and get an E86 Z4? I've had two of those and they were so much more exciting to drive than the 330i!

This E-Type.

The HRH connection does nothing for me.
The price is fantasy island.
Not a fan of Webasto roofs.

Yet I keep going back & looking at it.

Just so right, if my numbers came up I’d buy it.

Today it’s an early 500E for me. Throw a weekend bag in the boot, point it towards Biarritz and collect some nice wine on the way back
