My top 10 cars wishlist

With being in Afghanistan, I have lots and lots of time sometimes to sit in a truck and ponder what I'd rather be sitting in. So i've compiled a list of the 10 dream cars I'd like to own someday.

10. BMW E30 M3 Sport Evo.This incredible car is #10 only because I would need to farm some unobtanium to be able to afford one. The best of the best M3 model.

9. BMW E46 TouringPractical, and reliable and good looking. This would win out any SUV in my book. The later facelift model with the Mtechnic package looks great especially in dark grey.

8. BMW E46 M3csl What a car, and it's at home at the Nurburgring! The M3csl was produced in late 2003 for the european market. CSL stands for "Coupe Sport Lightweight" and was first used on the 3.0 CSL homologation special in 1971. Major differences between the standard M3 and this monster is the carbon fiber roof, new bumpers and trunk, recaro bucket seats, swede steering wheel and a few motor tweaks, most notably that glorious intake manifold.

Probably the coolest sounding intake noise from the factory. E30 M3's with carbon airbox's still sound better, but this is one sexy OEM machine.
oops. If I ever own one, I hope to not have it end up like this one. At least it died a noble death at the Nurburgring... Passengers walked away.

7. Lotus Exige 240sColin Chapman, founder of Lotus Cars said "Add horsepower to go fast in the straights, add lightness to go fast everywhere." Perfect.
This is also Sarah's dream car (besides a VW beetle with a 911 badge on it) so it might be a strong contender some day when Jakob doesn't need a car seat!

6. BMW E46 M3

The E46 M3 can look fantastic with just a couple of mods. I'd like one in Alpine white, or obnoxious Pheonix Yellow.

5. BMW E30 M3 Unlike the later E36 and E46 M3s, the original E30 M3's main purpose in life was to win races on the track, not the street. It got the job done. Beginning with an off-the-floor 3 Series coupe, BMW gave its Motorsport division free rein to build a winner. After experimenting with several different engine combinations, BMW Motorsport settled on the M10 block as the starting point for its S14 plant. The original M3's head design was essentially a sawed-off 2.3-liter version of the 3.5-liter inline six unit from the M5/M6 line. A forged crank, improved oil flow and stout internals filled the short block. A Bosch Motronic injection system fed the four-valve head, the engine ultimately cranking out a respectable 192 bhp at 6750 rpm. It was linked to a close-ratio, five-speed dogleg gearbox hooked to a limited-slip diff. Sure this is a picture of a DTM car, but it's just too awesome not to post. I'd take one in alpine white please.

4. BMW M CoupeThe Mcoupe was designed in a shed by BMW engineers who thought the Z3 was dull. Once they created their frankenstein sled, they pitched it to BMW, who suprisingly bought it! In a world all european cars have a rival (think 3series, A4, C class) this thing was so far out there that Audi and Mercedes didn't even bother waiving a stick at it. It's hideously ugly and unbelievable beautiful at the same time. I remember as a kid this was the first car I dreamed of owning some day when I read about it in my Dad's Car and Driver magazines.

3. BMW E30 325ix This AWD version of the normal E30 handles snow like a champ. While all those tards in front wheel drive SUV's are stuck on the side of the road, this little car will drive right past. Totally practical and quite affordable, this car is so high on my dream list only because there is a good chance I might own one someday. I'd love a sedan with a 5 speed.

2. BMW Euro E28 M5 The chrome bumpers, the big headlamps. Perfect. Sure the new M5's have more power and handle way better with more comforts, but this is the origional bavarian bruiser and nothing has been better since. I'll take one in Polaris silver without the ugly M technic body kit, but this alpine white one above looks quite nice as well. I've included 3 pictures just because it looks sooo nice!

1. BMW E3. Euro 3.0SiI've always liked things outside the norm. I really would like to daily drive a nice classic car, but not one of the normal 60's american muscle. This car was nicknamed the Baader Meinhof Wagon in the 70's because the German terrorist cell loved to steal these beamers due to them being easy to break into, hotwire and could outrun the Polezei. Not only is this car fantastic looking, it comes with a cool history and isn't a car you'd see every day; so that is why it is my number one dream car.
