Well, my E21 is the only car I have, but i often borrow one of my parents cars.
My father drive a 2002 E39 525i. Abselutely a great car, with all the gadgets

My mother drives a Peugeot 206cc. OMG, this is a crappy drive, but quite allright in the summer time when going to the beach :-) But that is all it is good for. Terrible handling.

Well the E21 doesn't do much driving here... it is sadly still waiting for me to free more time to work on it so she can get a full respray.

Do some trips with the E30 320iS, trackdays with the E30 325i.

Daily driver is a Renault Clio 1.6-16V Initiale. Reasonable company car. Since we get taxed here for the value of our company car (grrr) I choose a relatively cheap one. Not too slow and loadsa nice stuff (like Xenon, A/C, leather sports interior, cd changer, glass sunroof), good enough for the traffic jam twice a day :evil:

Going through rust repair now though so it is back off the road. Usual driver is an EF fairmont Ghia. Well worth it when im paying like 42cpl for LPG when fuel is $1.30

I have also an e30 but like my e21 I don't drive it for the moment.

My daily driver normally is the e36 318i but with those fuel prices going up an up (1.5 euro/liter) :evil: I drive more and more my wifes golf 4 Tdi. It is fun to drive 130HP and 310nm of torque with an average consumption of 6 litres diesel/100km.
It has airco and sportseats + some other luxury.

The only thing it misses ... it isn't a BMW.

My daily driver is a Mini Cooper which also has a connection with our beloved German brand. Besides that I recently bought an E30 Alpina C1 2.5 which is a great car.
Besides the BMW related stuf I also like the older Alfa Romeo's. Since a few years I drive a 1973 2000 GTV Bertone but I'm thinking of buying a Giulia that is more adapted to sporty driving.
I also own a 1971 Volkswagen Beetle and a 1957 Heinkel Kabinenroller. But these have not been driving for years now.
As you can see I'm not focussing on one brand or one model. I just can not choose. That's my biggest problem in life.... Any shrink around?
There is a tendency towards more 'drivers cars' over the last few years. I found out that a sporty drive is the key element that I search in a car. The E21 still is very important to me because is has all the things I need: classic looks, good roadholding, good power/ weight ratio and a great sound. I really look forward to driving the Hennared to be....

Hey Kiril... if that chick comes with the car, I might actually consider driving it... :lol: 8) :wink:

As you all know, I'm currently driving my recently aquired E30 316 from '84 with only km 74.000. Not the most exciting BMW, but she's real clean and comfortable and the fuel consumption isn't too bad either...
