Are you keeping your BMW "forever"?

I'm sentimentally attached to it since its the car I learned to drive stick on and the car that made me fall in love with all things BMW.
Your not the only one who fell in love with that car! She took my stick driving virginity too.
I'm fixing up the 318is to have it worthy to be sold at a decent price. Great little car but isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I would like to find my perfect one, making it my own and then I would plan to keep it forever.

I don't plan to ever sell my e39. It's been touted as the best BMW ever made by new and old BMW aficionados. If something beyond my control happens and I have to sell it, or it gets wrecked, I'll probably be devastated, lol.
I already told the wife that in a few years (cough...too many....cough) it will be sitting in the garage next to a gallardo.

I plan on keeping my e36. I'd never be able to replace it if I wanted to and I spent a lot of time trying to find the right one.
My e46 touring is gonna be driven into the ground simply because I have so little money in it. I just plan on adding to my collection in the future:)

If you go on the forum 6speedonline, its cool to see how cheap you can actually own a Gallardo! A lot of those guys are getting over or close to 50k per clutch, they change their own oil, etc.. I've seen a couple guys on there say that they spend on average between $800-1200 a year on their car. That's not a lot considering the car, and they seem to be as reliable as many other performance cars (M5, M6, DB9, etc..)
Personally, I'll wait for the F430 to drop into the 65-80k range and then do whatever it costs to pick one up. Black, with the F1 gearbox. They no longer used belts in the F430, and the motor doesn't need to be dropped for basic maintenance like the 360, 355, etc..

I'll have the E36 "forever" or until it dies an honorable track day death. The E46, I cant imagine why I'd ever want to get rid of it, so I'll probably have both of them for a long time yet.

I will have to check that out. Definitely have to wait until I upgrade to a location that has garage space. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing, that that sort of upgrade will cost more.....a lot mor aparrently, than the gallardo.

Ryan, they're a very bland car to me. Yes it's fast, sporty an all that jazz. But they don't appeal to me. Ferrari's are epic, but in the super car spectrum. They're towards the bottom. I want a Ferrari F40 Competizione though. Fawwwwwk, maybe when I win the lottery.

I'm sure I'll sell, but I'll always have a BMW in the garage.

first e30- knew i would get rid of it because late models are so much sexier
second e30 - would have kept it forever, but a wreck claimed it
current e34 - would love to keep forever, eventually as a winter beater, but i'm not that attached to it as compared to e30s.

I had always planned on keeping my 318is "forever" until my brother rolled it during a joy ride.
The other one I wanted to keep forever was the M5, but I got greedy with plans of supercharging the 540i, which never happened. Now I wish I'd have kept it rather than taking the small loss on it like I did
Don't worry.... The 318s soul live on with in my car... I should take care it.
.I still owe you a few bucks I think too.

I try to keep one forever, but always end up with another.

After working on the car on/off for over seven years,
the game is on for how well-maintained and how long I can keep it and enjoy it.. and I do enjoy it immensely.
In other words - I want to keep it until I'm too old to shift gears.
I found a solution for being to old to switch gears. PADDLE SHIFTERS!!!!

I'd like to say that I'll keep my E30 forever, but, I thought I'd be keeping my 66 Charger forever, and now have it up for sale due to financial constraints. Don't know if it'll sell, but it's for sale. Same could happen with the E30, especially if I find a really nice one with a manual trans.

I'm with TJ I don't plan on getting rid of the 92 3series(green car) but you never know one thing is for sure I started with an e36 and I"ll never not own one. to me an e36 just fits, there might be better cars but it's the perfect car for me.
the GT3 RS, but the F430.... nom nom nom
