Are you keeping your BMW "forever"?
-
I have a car that would make zero sense selling so I'll have it unless it has a building fall on it or it's in a fire.
It being towed out of that building might be the only way some of us ever see it move and in daylight.

Seeing as this is WiBimmers, home of the infinite project and largest gathering of like minded procrastinators, maybe there should be a stipulation in this conversation that states you plan on keeping your BMW forever because it's running and you like driving it and not because you just haven't finished the "project". Keeping an unfinished project for a decade or so is akin to buying a Lego set, starting it and then putting it in your closet to finish it later. That is now your forever Lego set.

Normally I would say no, I'm not keeping my current BMWs forever.
In real terms, though, we are at a point in history now where if you want a really good driving experience with some purity, you have no choice but to keep the "older" bmws. I look around today and ask "what can tick the boxes of high revving V8, manual, RWD, nice interior, good looking, and has great road feel?" There is nothing. The closest thing is a GT350 mustang but that fails on interior quality, and I've parked my E92 next to one before and side by side, the GT350 looks like a crackerjack box toy. Just cheap plastic and shit. It looks like a gimmick at that angle.
I just don't know what there is to move on to. I think at this point I would be just acquiring more old cars as opposed to replacing my BMWs.

Right but like i said, i'd have to acquire - not sell, and by the time I can justify 150k on a car, they'll be old and have to be because 6MT won't be a thing anymore lol

Meh, whatever. Its only the cost of some peoples homes. Quit being a peasant. It's all in the name of the ultimate driving experience! That's priceless-ish!
