ITT: attainable dream cars

might buy a b7 rs4

First gen taurus SHO

It's getting to the point of being unobtainable but I hope they've plateaued

Fortunately I have my 2nd choice attainable dream at least

>>28587678 (OP)
I hate that every E38 came with an M62 engine, except for the first production year, 1995, when it still had the superior M60 engine.

It's pretty much mandatory to do the Timing Chain guides, for every E38 740il and E39 540i.

>>28587737
dont forget about the V12 M73

>>28587740
The V12 750il is a different beast in itself. If you own one of these, you likely have a 850csi in stick shift, with it's hard-to-service Getrag 560G.

Argubly, the V8 M60/2 engines equipped cars have the 420G trans, which is overall easier and cheaper to source.

>>28587746
The 420G is nowadays nigh impossible to find parts for, just like it was back then too.
Also the 560G is a massive piece of shit as in physically, it's fucking humongous and weighs like 300 kilos. Almost as heavy as an adult American.

>>28587762
I would argue the Getrag 420G is at least plentiful enough from all the fucked E39 540i's, to have 1-2 spares for $2-3k each, if you're wanting long-term ownership. Direct enough swap, if your first 420G breaks, and you can reuse parts.

We could go balls to wall, spend $5k for a Nissan CD009 trans swap. Or go Full Retard on a $10k bulletproof T56 Magnum trans swap. PMC Motorsports, and other companies make bellhousing adapter plates.

But we're talking about attainable dream cars, here. Can have E38 740il easily for less than $10k, for a really nice one.

In manual

>>28587767
At least in Europe you can get those uhhhhhh GZ6 manual trannies for like 300 bucks, adapter kits are like a grand.

>>28587775
I'm jealous u Eurocucks get E38 728i in manual transmission. I would totally rock a 7 series with a inline 6 engine w/stick shift.

E32 735i doesn't count. I hate M30s.

>>28587779
>I hate M30s
That being said the 728i is actually a very nice car. I'd unironically recommend that thing as a reliable daily driver for cheap.
Shame it never got the 3 litre straight 6 found in the E46.

>>28587826
M50>M30
I'll take the M50, M52, M54 any day over an M30b35. Cracked blocks and blown headgaskets are common enough on M30s, that I'll never touch one. Even the stock G260 manual trans are known to break under stock power of an M30.

Don't even get me started on E90/60 N5x engines.

>>28587836
Trading all that for sloppy timing chains, coolant issues and plastics.
I do agree that nearly all transmissions in BMWs suck shit. Germans just can't do decent transmissions

>>28587836

>Cracked blocks and blown headgaskets are common enough on M30s, that I'll never touch one. Even the stock G260 manual trans are known to break under stock power of an M30.

Did a M30B35 rape you as a child?

#notallM30s

>>28587851

Meh, every auto I've come across on BMWs has been adequate except for those GM pieces of shit in the lower spec E46 cars.

Come on guys, dream bigger.

I've watched the early years go from ~30k cars to ~$70k cars but the NSX still remains my attainable dream car.

>>28587979
I'm sorry you were born homosexual.

>>28587994
>4HP a pack seals
>5HP swallowing balls
>6HP torque converter slip
Yeah, nah, fuck zf

There is someone trying to sell their 728i E38 near for real cheap(like 4k, the listing has been up for months). It doesnt seem in amazing exterior condition but 4k is 4k. Unfortunately its automatic
I would go check it out but I am really tight on money anyway because I happened to buy a car recently too.

>>28587762
>nowadays nigh impossible to find parts for, just like it was back then too.
Because ZF refuses to sell parts for their manual transmissions.

>>28588030
>Obtainable dream thread
>Dream bigger bro
Shut the fuck up you daft tard, you're missing the fucking point

>>28588915
Naah, you people are just poor as fuck it seems. I'm merely pointing out the truth and you know it.

>>28589255
no shit. if everyone here was rich, most any car would be an attainable dream car.

attainable BUT
>nearest rotary shop is 6+ hours away in either direction

>>28589342
Become the rotary shop

SAAB 9-5

And lucky enough to own both

And lucky enough to own both.

>>28589421
Get some 6uls please

>>28587763
>Mark V
>attainable
i wish...

>>28588883
Brother, the 420 and 560 are Getrags.
You can actually get parts for the ZF manuals, ot sure if they're official or aftermarket, but they're there.
Again you can get those 6 speed ZF boxes off E60s for example for like 300 bucks in yurop, they're really common as manual swaps for everything here from dyno queens, track cars to drifters.

You don't see them in green very often, that looks really nice

>>28589614
Bugeyes are the 2nd best impreza, I find it weird how many people prefer blob

>>28587678 (OP)
Unironically a 1994 lancer 1.6

have the roadster.
want a coupe tho

>Old tech junk
Its like saying your dream computer is a pentium 4 with 2GB of RAM

>>28589928
Wrong, my dream computer is a Pentium 3 with a 3dfx Voodoo 3 3500 and a soundblaster 64.
32 bit colours will never take off, trust the plan

>>28589945
>3dfx
They don't exist

>>28589928
>Old tech junk
>New computer tech isn't
Windows 10 and 11 surely are junk, ray tracing is overhyped, fake frames are gay, there are billions of Indians browsing the same Internet as you. Should've used a different analogy.

>>28589949
Atifag propaganda

>>28589972
>ATI
They don't exist either

>>28587716
I'm saving up for one as much as I can but I don't think I'll get there if they keep increasing in price like they have been

Got mine last year desu.

>>28589928
>Its like saying your dream computer is a pentium 4 with 2GB of RAM
nah for me it's AMD, K7 and K8, need an nforce2ultra board to use my XP 2500+ and Geforce 7800GS (one of most powerful AGP cards) in this dumpsterfire country it is easier to find Pentium MMX on the used market than S462 god nuke serbia already
miss me with that fucking netburst dogshit now >>>/g/ nigger

>>28589928
ur mom is old tech junk, but her puss puss is still as tight as the day I first came inside her.

>>28589928
Or you could suck a dick instead, consoomer faggot.

I could buy one tomorrow, I wouldn't be able to maintain it or fuel it for that matter. One day

There's a really good deal on a 2018 one near me, but my money is tied up in other cars so I'm going to miss out on it. :(

>>28590039
>>28587716
Assuming US market you can get a really nice R1/2 for $40k. Tourings are cheaper but have the sunroof and rear wiper. The special models from the facelift era though, I wouldn't consider affordable.

>>28587716
i had a silver 94 FD for a while it was really cool

>>28589255
oh ok sorry for offending you, moishe

>>28589928
"nooo you have to drive a 2025 model that has ipads and RGB lights all over the interior!!"

>>28590373
awesome and beautiful cars but i could see it becoming a huge money pit

>>28590489
What i am hearing, is that you cannot afford it

>>28590437
>>28590039
you can still import an fd for ~25k. I assume anyone that wants an fd also wants rhd japaneseu rhd jdm durifto mobileu

>>28589928
Not really, old cars are more than adequate for the road

>>28589928
You replied to a dude who wants the newer R8

I own mine already.

>>28590886
>you can still import an fd for ~25k
Yeah, a clapped normal model, probably an automatic. Not something like a bathurst.

>I assume anyone that wants an fd also wants rhd japaneseu rhd jdm durifto mobileu
You assume wrong. I have owned two FDs and I wouldn't buy a RHD model for any purpose other than to flip it if I found a great deal.

>>28590983
>You assume wrong.
you're in a small minority of people that jerk off to triangles.
I was a little off, add about 4-5k shipping and import.
This is also just goo-net, you can get deals elsewhere. most importers go through auctions

>>28589928
>(You)

>>28590991
Not wanting RHD has nothing to do with the type of engine, I just don't want it because RHD in a LHD country sucks. If you actually drive the car in the twisties, you get over the novelty of RHD really quickly. I have driven a RHD E30 wagon extensively (it was cheap, LHD models are FAR more expensive). Right hand corners suck visibility wise, but what is worse is being in a left turn lane with opposing traffic. Can't see jack shit in a small LHD car, it's worse in a RHD. At least toll booths barely exist anymore though.

>>28591002
I've been driving rhd in the us for about 2 years now and got over left turns pretty quickly. that's really the only thing that that was at all annoying to me.

>>28590870
no one's dream car is a 2025 lol. the entire concept of 'dream car' is a car youve dreamed of since you were a kid

>>28591130
>no one's dream car is a 2025 lol
Look at this car and tell me that's not the hottest thing you've ever seen

>>28591165
That looks like fucking ass bro
Get better dreams.

>>28591130
If it has to be a car I’ve wanted continuously since I was a kid there’s only one choice for me

>>28591171
After that pic related is the first car I really wanted after I got my license, and I’d still buy one today if I had the spare cash
I ended up getting into motorcycles instead though

>>28591167
255 tires and 355HP is the ultimate daily

>>28591017
NTA, but I think he was talking about when two opposing cars are turning left and you can't see oncoming traffic because of a larger vehicle opposite you. You don't "get over" not being able to see through metal.

>>28591165
I remember when bait was believable

>>28591177
do yourself a huge favor and actually sit in one. your dream will die instantly.

>>28591181
I'm well aware of what he was saying, and you do get over it. you can generally either pull way the fuck to the left and hug the curb, and still see, or just wait until it's definitely clear.

>>28591182
When you grow the fuck up and realize high performance executive cars are the best, you'll know it's not bait.

>>28591204
not falling for it.

>>28591184
Nah, I’ve driven one, my cousin had one, I’m a huge fan

>>28591209
are you a femboy by chance?
I can't imagine anyone with any testosterone liking them after sitting in them. they feel so unbelievably fucking awful to drive in addition to making you look like a pussy

>>28591219
After tucking in my children at night, I love logging on to 4chan dot org to get called an incel or a femboy

>>28591221
the fact it's happened on enough occasions for you to comment this makes me think you might have a problem. go get your t checked femsister.

>>28591224
Enough T to have three under three, I’d like less, if anything

>>28591232
get it gurl

>>28591178
Sure but you can get those numbers from actual cool cars too.

>>28591312
Will they be big and comfy though

>>28591323
Your dream car is a miserable compromise. It's not luxurious enough to be a luxobarge, nor is it fast or nimble enough to be a sports car.
It's the poor person's dream "I made it" car despite not actually being a symbol of truly making it. You don't actually give a shit about cars and never will.
You read some bullet points on the app you saw on it, that's why you mention random bullshit like
>255 wheels and 355 hp
As if that's actually meaningful data or characteristics that would be indicative of literally anything at all.

Basically, you're just a pathetic tourist that wants desperately to fit in.

>>28591336
>sub 5 sec 0-60
>not fast enough to be a sports car
That's a beast, Anon... most enthusiast cars are small and compromised, or stuck at 180-200HP, your mid pack turbo 6 cyl cars like BMW B58 and Acura Type S kinda have it all, they are the coolest segment in the auto industry.

>>28591344
>most enthusiast cars are small and compromised, or stuck at 180-200HP
Again, you're a tourist clueless about what you're saying. You don't know dick about cars.

>>28591350
>You don't know dick about cars.
Doesn't matter, high performance luxury vehicles are the winningest of cars, if a car weighs 4200lbs+comfy passengers and it destroys the performance of a BRZ or Miata, that's impressive.

>5 seconds to 60
>350 hp
>255 tires
wow it's just like a corvette from 30 years ago lmfao

>>28591354
Yea but comfy and you're not in a composite body GM piece of shit

>>28591353
>destroys the performance of a BRZ or Miata
Entry level sports cars known for being slow as shit? That's your litmus test?

>>28591356
It's not a litmus test, it's just not that impressive that a sub 2400lb Miata corners kinda fast, it's a little car that isn't very usable for the money they want, meanwhile a large sedan with a bunch of horsepower and a good independent suspension and all the sound deadening you could ask and good audio system is gonna be pleasant on a nice twisty road, and long road trips.

Most professionals are unironically stuck at 113hp thoughverbeit

>>28590093
Do many automakers do this? This is a pretty endearing supplementary service.

>>28591450
Not that I'm aware of. They actually have more steps that show your when it was ordered and stages of development. But after you get it, it's just the production start and end. You get 3-4 production pictures too. Cool little memory.

Tech decline. Most older cars are more advanced than most cars being made today.
