jjs 60 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 Was having this discussion with a mate the other day who is looking at buying an E30. Which should he buy, a 318i manual or 325i auto? They seem to be priced at about the same level. Personally, I would go for the 325i, much more grunt and usually better spec. I guess the same argument prevails for an E36. Which would you guys rather have? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 34 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 318i manual by a country MILE. The 318's go pretty well as manuals and have better weight distribution. I would only go the 325 auto if I wanted just a long distance cruiser (then why an e30?) or I was going to do a manual conversion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_BRS_ 208 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 hmm tough decision, definantly the 325 if a manual conversion was the idea of the owner, the 318 might be a better option with the price of petrol these days, i t really depends on the owner wanting a manual or the power, or both if things went to plan with a conversion. personally id get the 325 and source a manual conversion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
