i've decided i am going to get a e39. manual only. 523/525/530 or maybe a 540. i was considering a e36 25/28 but they are too expensive for the age, and the cheap less powerful ones are just so fucking slow.
was thinking of a e46 but they have kept their price way better than the e39's, at least the manuals.
there are a bunch of diesels for either but fuck that. i know you mutts love them since they are a rarity in the us but here in eu its always a econobox engine no matter if its a 1.6 or a 4.0, people drive them for the mpg.

the thing is not sure if v8 or six pot e39 or pay more for a e46. this would be my second daily as a fun car which i diy.
