I tend to lean towards BMWs and Mercedes, because they're much more attainable, but holy shit I would love to get my hands on a R32, R33 or R34. Seeing vids of some rich zoomers driving those at 20 is pure ragefuel.
I love em all, some of my fav german cars are E63 AMG, E92 M3, E60 M5, and the big ones like the S550. R32s are (or at least were) somewhat attainable. Idk, maybe prices skyrocketed
To me inline sixes sound more bassy, especially the older BMW M50 engines. I wouldn't mind a V8 of course, but I6 seems like a good bang for the buck. Relatively quick, somewhat fuel efficient and cheaper in maintenance. Unfortunately all 1980s and 1990s iconic cars have gone up significantly in prices, besides where I live there's no JDM culture and people rarely import those.
The prices for good old ones are getting pretty ridiculous tbh because of all the nostalgia and hype. I think 2000s-2010s cars are the way to go. Reasonable prices, good reliability, and prices are not crazy
That and because most 1980s/1990s cars have rusted to shit. Unfortunately the 2000s cars don't hold that charm for me anymore, maybe up to 2003-04. Also I got used to no traction control and no airbags lol.
Really hard to find ones with a decent mileage unfortunately. Also, I don't think I'd be in a position to afford multiple cars, so reliability is pretty important to me. Can't deny that old cars are a lot more involving to drive thoughThat and because most 1980s/1990s cars have rusted to shit.

I don't focus as much on the mileage as on the maintenance done by the previous owners. My 2005 Corolla has been in the family since production and due to my granddad's poor maintenance it was pretty much a wreck at 125k miles, whereas I owned a 1992 BMW 3 Series with 210 miles on the clock and didn't have any major problems besides 25 years old power steering pump giving up the ghost. Old cars with low mileage are nowadays sold at ridiculous prices, because of "collector's status".
that's a bike
