An automotive journalist choosing a BMW 3-series won’t be much of a surprise for many, and the fact that it’s a station wagon further plays to type. This BMW is powered by a 3.0-liter N52 inline-six making 230 horsepower backed up by a six-speed automatic transmission with shift paddles and driving all four wheels. The color is Vermillion Red Metallic, and the interior is finished in Oyster leather. Equipment includes a panoramic sunroof, roof rails, navigation, heated front seats, and adaptive cruise control. There are just under 51,000 miles on the clock.

Full disclosure: Colwell has owned this car only since April, though it is his second E90-generation 3er (the 328i sedan isn’t for sale). With the arrival of a new baby, he bought this wagon for his wife. But she elected to keep driving her Volvo, so this BMW is going on the block. And once it’s sold, what will Colwell’s answer to that most-asked question be? Most likely, “A Ducati.”
