This would be the ideal time for a drool emoji.
LOL, yes. What is your favorite from that set?
I’d have to say the Jag would be my pick. Followed closely by the Lambo (of course )
Nice! I could see you with one of those, Ray!
A Z3 with the straight 6 was on my list when I got my Miata. Unfortunately, I need space for kids now:(
I thought that was what that space was for behind the seats
That way of thinking is probably why I’m an uncle…
One here for sale for $22K (CDN). Was considering to replace the e28…
I’ll drive it to MTL for ya, Ray if you buy me a buy on arrival (and pay for the car).

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.

That design hold up. I love it.
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!!
