What would you do with it?

I'd probably buy an e46 m3 convertible competition package, then invest and build the rest. Boring. Nothing too fancy. haha. Oh, and I'd probably drop about $10k on advertising for UB.

How about you guys?

1) Completely restore my 2002.

2) Buy an E60 M5

3) Invest the rest

I thought about that, but you also have to think about the insurance costs of that on someone under 25. It'd be rape.

I'ld give $25k to all ACTIVE UB members before "uncle Sam" climbed up my A$$ for taxes, then file bankruptcy

1) Brand new house, nothing too big but something with a huge garage, workshop, etc. 350k
2) E39 M5 twinsupercharged - 60k
3) Restore my E36 with new paint, etc and build my own turbo kit - 25k estimated
4) Buy an Evo E30 M3 - price?
5) Buy Porsche GT2 - 100k+
6) Porsche Cayenne Turbo S for my DD - price?

And whatever is left, sit on.

Why the convertable with the comp package, that just doesnt seem to make sense to me, you cant use a convertable at a track day.

I think I would, get an e30 m3 and do some upgrades and maybe buy a track e30. Then use some of the money to goto a bunch of track days and then save the rest.

Alot of states will let you "self insure" if you provide a $100k retainer. They limit it at $100k because FDIC will only insure to that amount. (states account per retainer for $100k) Lots of "hi rollers" do that.

mclaren f1

**94bmw325i** · 12-11-2005, 04:30 PM

If you bought a mclaren f1, you would have no money left, or so little you couldn't afford to keep gassing it up or insuring it right?

A house with a lift, etc 400k?
Evo 8 or 9 as daily driver, maybe 450 crank hp or something.
Turbocharge my e36 maybe 500 crank hp or so (30k or so?)
Pay for college, food, insurance, etc for both cars
Get a lift kit and stuff for my truck (20k)

I wouldn't track it. It'd be my daily driver.
