With all of BMW’s niche creating enthusiasm, the Bavarian brand has come up with some truly unique cars. There’s pretty much a BMW to fit each and every automotive need, which I guess is the reason for all of this niche making. Many enthusiast complain that it dilutes the brand, but the M3 and M4 are still pretty damn good, so I think the brand’s values are still in tact.
BMW is also the kind of brand that families stick with. What I mean by this, is that when one person in the family buys a BMW, the rest of the family cars usually tend to be BMWs as well. It’s a brand that sticks. So usually, if there’s one BMW in the driveway, it’s likely there’s another as well. And because of BMW’s diverse lineup, each person’s taste, say a husband’s and wife’s, can be had.
So my question to you lovely people is this — If you had a choice of any two BMWs, for just you or you and your significant other, what would your dream two-car BMW garage be filled with?
I’ll give you what I’d pick. I’m a sports car guy, obviously. But since I have a fiance, a dog and will soon be married, a need four doors. So the choice seems obvious, doesn’t it? I’d have an M3. Specifically, a Silverstone Metallic M3, because of the mysterious lack of Sakhir Orange on the builder online (rumor is the orange is coming back for MY2016), with the Black Full Merino leather interior, the DCT gearbox and the M Carbon Ceramic Brake option. Oh, and I’d take the 19” Black wheels, Navigation with the heads-up display and the Harmon Kardon surround sound. Yea, that sounds about right.
My fiance, on the other hand, is not into sports cars. She likes SUV’s. Was raised a Jeep girl, with old-school Jeeps always in her family. So naturally, she wants an SUV. She likes the look of the X3, as it’s a bit sportier than the X5. So the second BMW in my dream garage would be a Black Sapphire Metallic X3 M Sport Line, with Black Nevada Leather, Gray contrast stitching and brushed aluminum trim. Of course, she ticked all the boxes, so it has every package and option possible and she chose the 20” double spoke wheels.
So those are the two BMW’s that would make me most happy sitting in my garage. I don’t need, nor do I really want, the most expensive Bimmers just because they’re the most expensive. Those two cars fit our lifestyle perfect and the M3 is a car that I would totally get off on owning. It’s my perfect garage at the moment.
So what do the readers think? What would be your perfect two car BMW garage?
the M4 looks so stunning in the top picture wow
Yes, look through the gallery, you will see more. A photoshoot we did in Europe
I dream of owning a new M235i, M3/M4, and i8 all day everyday. But I couldn’t be happier with my current fleet: A 1990 Diamondschwartz M3 and a manual 2011 Space Grey 328i Sport Wagon with sport package.
That’s one helluva fleet you got there. Awesome cars.
OK, so am NOT getting married soon. So, i’ll pick an M4 Convertible and an M5.
SUVs can wait till kids are grown…LOL
F13 M6 in Oxford Green and with the M6 GC specific wheels, loaded except the comp pack, and a facelifted E38 750iL Sport (if those actually exist), maybe a red one just to be unique. I’d totally refurbish to a new condition! Beige and wood inside of both o/
Really love all the 8s (i8, Z8, 8-Series) but gotta have at least one 4-door in there :P
It would be an M4 and an X5 for the winter months.
Definitely my number one dream car BMW 507, the other one should be something more practical, maybe M550d Touring.
E9 CS and an E82 135i (halfway there ; -).
M4 and M550d
I would either pick
BMW M5 with BMW X5
or
BMW M3 with BMW X3
i like all BMW’S but im more a sports sedan guy
but dont get me wrong the M4 and M6 are beasts
BMW M3 F80 and Mazda MX-5 (because no BMW Z2).
X5 f15 and M6 f13
Id have to go with the current M4 – Alpine White, Black rims, Sahkir Orange interior. And an X6M Black Sapphire with Mugello Red interior. (obviously if money was no option lol)
Good choice, Nico. You just described my 2015 F80 M3. Only difference is I dont have the CCBs. Got it back in September of last year….and it is my favorite BMW yet (and I have owned a few).
Congrats, awesome car! Jealousy I running high right now.
We already have a 330i stick shift and an X1 with the 135 configuration. I’m happy.
Well, we’d only need one more…if I took the blue pill, I’d give my wife’s Mazda CX-5 ( which would be tough, because we love that thing) to her brother, she’d take our X1 xDrive 35i M-Sport (now with Dinan) and I’d do an M3 in Yas Marina, Sakir Orange interior, Nav and heated seats, manual. However, since life calls for the red pill, I’d keep the X1 and get her a 335i xDrive in Saph. Black.
Has to be Frozen White F10 M5 for me and a Mineral White F85 X5M in for the wife.
i8 and F15 X5 M50d !
They would be an E60 M5 Onyx Blue Individual with Caramel Full Leather interiors (or Oxyd Brown Full Leather) and M6 light alloy wheels (Style 167M) for fun or elegant occasions and an M135i xDrive Mineral Gray with Dakota Oyster Full leather interiors for my grandad or my mum for everyday use and winter.
Can’t decide, just too many choice . Shame on you BMW :-)))
M4/M3 and the new plug in X5 with MSport.
Alpina B7 xdrive and M3
Only two? Time for a bigger garage. But seriously, I already have a 550i for daily use, so I just need an M6 convertible for the weekends.
I’m a poor man who isn’t afraid of a wrench, so while they are both old ones, I DO have my 2 BMW’s in the garage. My wife has a black on black ’05 X3 and I have an E38 in Aspensilber over Aubergine leather. Both cars still run perfectly and are cosmetically perfect. I’m sure a newer version of either would be nice but I think I have everything I want and need with these two.
(I’m guessing that any hard core BMW fan knew the year of my car immediately. Anyone?)
You’re right. I have had six BMWs. My current bimmer is a 135i, and we have an A3. I like small hatchbacks, so my second dream car would be a 128 hatch. Too bad we can’t get those here.
