A 2002 BMW Z3 Coupe with an S54 engine. All time dream car

But a W116 6.9 may be a fun too.

I'd have to say... an early 90's S-class diesel (S300? 300SD? can't remember the badge, I've seen both) w140-style, with pristine seats (ha), pristine interior, good suspension/undercarriage, no rust, a complete lack of electrical and "accessory" problems (do we have a :thatWillBeTheDay: smiley?) ... and a thoroughly trashed rod-bender under the hood, thus reducing the price to "dirt cheap"

My 300SDL body is absolutely in tatters, but the 603.961 in it has got a huge amount of head-replacing labor (mine and my dad's) in it and is my most trusted engine... the car itself needs to be moved on within the next year or two but I'd like to stay with that engine a while longer. Would love to upgrade to a w140 (even with the problems, I'd rather get a couple more years head-start on the rust and the worn out suspension bushings and so forth) but on my budget, the thing has pretty much got to be sold for cheap by somebody who says "car with a blown engine, how much can it possibly be worth, I just want it gone" and has no idea how relatively easy repowering it would be.

Hey, a guy can dream.

just saying "gullwing" elicits MANY versions of the MB supercar...

posting pics like I did, focuses the desire, and forces us to supremely salivate on a specific car!

come on everybody... go google image search your car and add it to your post!

There would be many!

However, the first that come to mind would be:

195x 300Sc
196x 230SL

I too like the '91 560SE.

SLS AMG. Prob in 5 years, if I still care then. Always wanted on ever since I sat in one at the place where they do my radio installs.

Gullwing would be nice, but impossible

190SL's are cute too... The pricetag, not so much.

http://www.iagmotors.com/CarPix/60MB190SLBlkRed/ebay/60-MB-190SL-Blk-Red-005.jpg

And then I went looking on Craigslist and I came across a 180... I think I'm in love. (the one I found is red though)
