Great list, Marcus, but of all the BMWs to put on that list only one makes it in and it’s the…

I’ll seek it out. Apparently some have landed in SA. Regardless, I’d scratch that XM and substitute it with the M3 Touring - that’s the Bimmer of the moment.

Sadly we don't get the M3 Touring here.

Not really an ultimate fantasy garage lists, but I was thinking about this today of a relatively reasonable but interesting two-car garage and came up w/ either of the following:

1) Mazda CX-90 Inline-6 (a CX-70 would be more ideal, but that's not been officially debuted yet) for everyday driving that seems to have good materials inside, nice design outside, a decent powertrain for daily use, (expected) solid reliability, and what appears to be good fit and finish.
2) Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0. Fun open-top run-about with the iconic Porsche boxer-6 that's perfect for those backroad jaunts.

or

1) Lexus GX550.. again it seems to have decent materials inside (though some posts on here suggests there's some cost-cutting), butch, squared-off design outside, a decent powertrain for daily use, ability to go virtually anywhere, (expected) solid long-term reliability, and what appears to be good fit and finish.
2) Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0.

Ah, at least someone shares my masochism of being forced to actually choose and not list every damn thing under the sun!

 

[montana]

Thanks man, likewise.

If I were to narrow it down to two cars..... The Laf and the Range I'd reckon. Also throw in the S63 lol.

Some of it just comes down to a confluence of advancing age and the glaringly obvious truth that, short of being the sole winner of a Powerball lottery, I'll never get even close to a garage full of exotics. That way, if I get somewhat close to this two-car set-up, I won't be entirely disappointed in myself. Plus, regarding advancing age, I'll never have the skills developed to handle something that's a speed demon. I'd rather just enjoy the drive rather than white-knuckling it.

masochism

yup, that's where I shine.

2 might be draconian, but I think the sweet spot is some number < 10. After, that it is just a collection and collecting itself becomes the source of enjoyment, not the cars themselves.
