Thanks Richard. I'll keep that in mind!

Last year I saw a Bangle 5 series V8 with a stick shift in Ontario. I think I would have better luck saving my marriage and having a fun car with that one.

Actually, that's exactly what I'm looking at now for my "normal" car when the old benz is in storage.

One the best rear ends on a sedan....

I think it was the only one I saw on Autotrader Canada, so don't hold your breath:/

There's a few manual transmissions around here. Saw a 6-Speed DINAN M-SPORT tuned one the other day and an M5 I think.

Haven't had a chance to check it out.

SP. I want a 6-speed M-SPORT Wagon.

The wagons are so rare that I keep forgetting they were imported. Incredible cars!

The unicorn!

Read the comments, the actual owner chimed in at the end to say he'd pay over $40K to have it back.

Not really a fan of that generation 3 series, wagon or not.... Front end kinda wimpy looking.

Ditto Richard's comment. Shoulda had a V8.

As a long time BMW guy, I can tell you those wagons are really nice - but a little cramped (I'm 6'6") which is why I opted for that 2006 X5 when opportunity knocked - it checks all the same boxes (3.0 inline 6, XDrive, 6spd true-three-pedal manual tranny, BMW handling, ride & luxury, etc) but interestingly the biggest problem with the 3's (wimpy cooling systems) isn't a problem in the X5. I still liked my M3 much better though (in the M3, after multiple failed cooling system components, I finally installed an all aluminum radiator, a high flow thermostat with an aluminum cover, underdrive pulley and a Stewart high flow water pump, and only a 50/50 mix of distilled water and BMW coolant - that did the trick even with daily romps to 120).

I'm still on the hunt for what I consider the best unicorn - a 2011-15 Caddy CTSv wagon with the recaros, panoramic sunroof and 6 spd stick. It will come, eventually!!

Awesome hand-built "Porsche" available. Check it out here:

$75K gets you the current VW engine, $95K gets you the Porsche 356...

I was meeting a friend for coffee down the street this morning and spotted this sweet 2002 round tail... as I was snapping a pic look what drove by in the background! Kismet!

Shark nose, FTW!

[rkuchinsky]

You know I'm a fan!!!..... shame about those rims on the 2002 and the fake shadowline trim on the grill. Otherwise, looks perfect! Never seen that kind of bumper add on.

Over riders are lame. Beautiful color though.

It makes me a feel a little better that in the background there are only beat chevy vans and dirty F150s. I feel like you live in auto-nirvana from most of your photos!
