Nah just a utility dual cab with a tray, some i can use on my property in Tassie. A 2 door coupe with no useable back seat doesn't really make much sense at this point in my life.

BMWs are nice cars. There are some I'd be more than happy to own. But just like Subarus, big trucks and low riders have a stereotypical owner, so do BMWs
Ive come close to owning 6
1982 e28 528i
1991 e30 325iS
1985 e30 Alpina C2 2.5
1991 e30 318iS
2001 e46 M3
I've only got the Alpina and M3 left, (plus parts from the 318iS) The M3 has actually increased in value over the ten years I've owned it but I've spent close to over 20k on it over those years. The Alpina which I bought for 13k cash 20 years ago is now worth somewhere around 80 thousand dollars but it needs a resto, which I think I should do.
I like german engineering, especially at used prices, but there's a ton of American and Japanese vehicles I'd be happy to own. I honestly haven't noticed too many BMW drivers living up to the stereotype but there's a lot of terrible Subaru drivers. Of course every other car is a Subaru around here. Jacked up trucks are dumb IMO, unless you really need the ground clearance.
Definitely not a douchey one on that list.Alpina should do well.
If I do the resto it should be pretty mint, prices on these rare e30s are going nuts, I'll likely never sell it. The M3 has to go, just not practical as a daily driver.

Nice.
Subaru WRX and STi drivers are pretty much universally jackass drivers. Those are the most ticketed cars in the U.S. pretty much every year.

I dont typically judge people off what they drive but this does seem to hold pretty true. Also the loudest cars which apparently is something to be proud of. (I personally want my vehicle to be as quiet as possible)
Yeah I had an STi from 2019 to 2022 and I loved it, but I can confirm I drove it around like a jackass. I also did some modifications to the exhaust but not the stock mufflers so it was a bit louder than stock but not stupid fart box loud. In order to get more horsepower than stock you have to use a less restrictive exhaust. They ship them the way they do to comply with EPA regulations, but by changing out a few easy parts you can get 30% or more power out of them so it's pretty standard to do that.
They are fun cars to drive but they encourage douchbaggary. Some people get confused and think they bought a drag car and they aren't "fast" like that, but it doesn't stop some people from trying to run them like that, which usually ends up with a blown out head gasket or ringland failure.
Mate of mine had one of the old school ones think first generation, he'd done a fair bit of work to it, was a nice little motor. I only ever drove it the once the pedal box was too small for my feet, don't think the Japanese had size 15 shoes in mind when they designed it.
