Guest Simon* Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Hey guys I'm on the lookout for a good '96 or later 318 E36 (or E46 ) for the chick, with a budget of pretty much $6.5k. Auto is fine, although I'd prefer manual as I'm sure I'll have to drive it too. Don't want a SLAB'ed piece of sh*t and probably no ex SLAB owners for that matter too - sorry boys. Please don't post up all the ones on TM, trust me I've seen them. I'm asking here in case anyone knows of any other good ones for sale. I have my eye on a few already.

jjs 64 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Surely you can find something... $6.5k is a very generous budget for something like that. Have you considered other alternatives? An A4 1.8T Quattro is a very nice, most are manual too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An A4 1.8T Quattro is a very nice, most are manual too! Yeah Jeremy I know it's generous, but I don't want to spend it all - we got more than I expected for her poxy Forester! Was also considering those (A4's) and Passat wagons - if I have the choice between an Audi or a BM I'll go with what I know, and where I can get the support for it.

OLLIE 26 Report post Posted March 13, 2008 Cheers very much Brent, but I'm kind of allergic to Ti's - just a personal thing it's not personal. They are Fugly! bmw built a brick wall especially for the Ti's they simply reversed coupes at high speed into the wall, buffed out any scratches and marketed them to the female JDM because they fit into smaller car parking spaces.
