I'd probably still have my E36 325is coupe w/manual for daily driving and would have kept either the '69 F250 or the '89 ford bronco for the other hauling needs.

69 F250 was the first and best vehicle I ever had for reliability, literally $0 maintenance costs over 8 years other than basic oil changes... and I was really rough with it. (Oh wait, I spent $2.50 for new points once)

The bronco was comperable in size, power and utility to the 4.6is, but with big mud tires and full selectable transfer case... great off roader. As fast in a straight line as the 4.6is (modded) and was surprising in the turns. (sway bars/big tires) But due to excessive flogging requires regular upkeep. (also comperable to the BMW )
