What is your dream setup?!?!

[1gr8e39]

I was thinking last night about my ULTIMATE BMW. If money was not an issue, and BMW would build me any car, any way, what would it be? It could be an S85 V10 e39 6MT, or an e60 M5 with the e39 V8, dang I have no idea what I'd come up with. Probably would look like this:

03 Body e39 M5
space gray or alpine white,black guts
S85 V10, 6MT
Sport package, M Sport package, cold weather, modern day nav
e60 M5 sport seats
e60 M5 gauges
F10 diff
aluminum body, carbon fib roof
PROPER CUPHOLDERS
hmmm which wheels? Probably the factory e39 M5 wheels but in 21 inch
HUD (heads up display)


ANY car, any engine, trans, option, WHAT WOULD YOU BUILD? Dream away... I'd almost take a wagon. Think of an e46 CSL with todays F12 powertrain. or an S62 in the new 4 series, which I REALLY like.

SC'd LS7 E34 wagon I think. 6spd manual with big brakes and possible minitub to fit tires to harness the power. And it would need a trailer hitch.

turbo s54 e36 wagon with brembo big brake kit, full vader interior, roll bar, fortune auto coilovers and widened DS1's.

Mine would be a dream garage rather than one car: Z3 M Roadster, Z3 M Coupe, E39 M5 and an X5M (I'm halfway there!)

If money was not an issue, and BMW would build me any car, any way, what would it be?

A 319/1 though, with the engine built to modern standards. Maybe a couple of airbags...I'm sure we could work something out.



Why limit your choices to modern cars? http://www.bmwism.com/all_bmws.htm

I really think having any previous M car with todays modern trimmings would be fantastic, the LSX S/C would be a joint BMW/ GM Venture. That'd be awesome. Made in Germany of course Vin code WGMXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It is a hard choice.
Either a long wheel base e38 Alpina B12 6.0 with a 6 speed manual in any of the beautiful shades of blue Alpina paints cars. I would also be willing to take it in Imola red.

or
A minty e24 or e9 with modern safety equipment and a very polished M30 engine with a 5 speed. Nothing too drastic, just the perfect cruiser. Black, blue, red, silver, the color doesn't matter, it just has to look minty.

id probably take late 80's 3series and drop the 4.0v8 from the m3 gtr into it. i like sleepers. i would also like a z3 or z4 roadster with the same motor. but my totally fantastic dream setup would be a z8 with the twin turbo 4.4 from the modern m5/m6. then i could die happy.

good call on the cupholders. seriously. the only saving grace is that its actually pretty easy to drive a 7 with one hand all the time. but it would be nice if i had room in my $80k sedan for a $2 cup of joe.

A Z8 with a proper diff and gauges where they are supposed to be.

A Z8 coupe?

[shiftmygears]

Mine would be a garage with:

X5M
E92 VF Supercharged M3
E39 M5 done up to the balls
M4 Vert

But if to have one car...

Supercharged E93 M3 vert, or the E60 M5 V10 engine in the m4 body.

[Grauhund]

Metallic Gray E46, Twin Turbo S65 near 700 HP, wide bodied, 7 speed dct. Id keep the interior components and have everything leather wrapped, Tablet interface, switch tunes between E85 and normal. This is one of my reasonable ideas... I could get crazy expensive with something.

[notMpowered]

E30 m3 evo sport. All stock.
s54 e36 m3. Not very stock at all.

[downeaster1]

an E65 that wasn't a POS. but that may be too far fetched. realistically? an E30 M3 Sedan.

[sullypants1]

seeing as this is a fantasy thread .....

1. Euro e36 M3 non surroof, with a M88/1? procar engine swap. 470 hp @ 9000 rpm in a 3.5L six yes please. Minimalist interior, full cage, tags
2. e30 M3 evo II with corrected rear suspension otherwise stock

[mhunter29928]

BMW M1 with engine from McLaren F1.

I think the last thing I'd want to be in is something flying with a pressurised water reactor on board...
