Hehe! Build a new garage!! In my opinion, now is the time to buy some "cheap" classics. The prices will definitely increase in the next years, I think. And some cars like the BMW 635 CSi or 850i are definitely become a classic - maybe not comparable to a 300 SL - but a classic!

I can't find any old 6er or 8er here in Greece, but a nice 2002 is very easy to find, and i think you can buy one for less than 1000€

So I looked at E39 540i's which can be bought at a decent price. But the problem is that their cooling system is notorious for failing like clockwork.

So instead, I'm looking at an E46 325 or 335i... either coupe or sedan. I guess I'll make another thread once I know more

This is without a doubt, the ugliest car BMW ever made......

Even when i was little i couldnt force myself to like it, i thought it look dated right after its arrival and was like 10 at the time, maybe younger. The problem wasnt so much the proportions eather, which could be compared to a door stop, but the details or lack of. The lights, look barely put together and the rubber seals on the panels were noticably big..

Anyway, not my favorite. But to each his own, right.
