I often think my 'sweet spot" in BMWs was the E46.

Just two, my E60 530i that I put a lot into, and my E30 325iX MT - got it for free, fixed it up and turned it into an awesome DD before I sold it two years later. Of those two I wish I still had the E60.

I miss my old DSM's (Talon TSI AWD and Eclipse GSX). Probably the most fun era of car modding for me.

I owned a Jeep Scrambler back in the mid 80's, bought it bone stock and added 33" Desert Duelers with chrome spoked wheels. It had a half hard top which could be removed and replaced with a bikini top when weather permitted. I sold it and replaced it with my first new car, an '86 Mustang GT which was fun but I miss that Jeep.

Hey man, long time since the Tower Shops. I've been out of the NSX scene for a while now. I had a 2017 NSX, but that POS had to be Lemon Law returned lol.

TBH most of my cars have not been great so don't miss them. I kinda miss the E84 X1, it was fun to drive and a bit old school for it's time as it was based on the previous gen 3 series.

Otherwise maybe my 72 Giulia Coupe, mostly because if I had kept it in good shape it'd be worth a fortune but as a car to own and drive, even for fun, i can't be arsed with proper older cars anymore, even the 997 feels a bit like it's on a cusp.

The car I miss the most is one of the cheapest cars I ever owned. It was painted by my best friend in high school.

Most recently is my 2007 PCS. I traded in Nov '21 for the E93 M3. I was on the fence and wish now I had just purchased the M3 outright and kept the PCS.

I miss my e46 M3. Great on the track, but dialed in as a daily driver. Hoping to track it down and re-acquire it!

You can if you have the VIN. Might take a while, though.

I tried to buy my 93 Mustang GT back (I owned this car in the early 2000s) about a year after I sold it. It had since been sold again, had a coolant leak & some mods I did removed. That owner wanted more than I sold it for LOL. I passed.

I did buy my 2nd Mazdapseed6 back from the guy I sold it to when he put it up for sale. I then sold it again for a profit. Part of me wishes I kept it

One of the first Euro fun cars that I bought was a Merkur XR4Ti
It had a few quirks but was a blast to drive.

No, the Supra is nothing like the Z4M. The Supra is an absolute coffin to be inside, terribly uncomfortable, and not naturally aspirated. The cars are nothing alike.

My old Z4M is the car I miss the most.
