Yankus 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2010 Few of you showing your age when you're nominating a 911 or an Evo X (apparently one of the worst cars ever to daily, according to Evo Mag) as a daily - what's kept in the garage, an F1 car "for Sunday morning blats" ? A daily should be comfortable, reliable, economical, practical, not messed with if parked at the local shopping centre, and above all; start first time, every time in the morning. Wouldn't be the E39 either....... Go the Audi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sammy J 1 Report post Posted March 15, 2010 Awesome suggestions coming out. Now im only 18 so not looking for a car to cart my family around in or anything.

tibbs.james 1 Report post Posted March 15, 2010 Daily Driver has to there and in one piece everyday. I doubt a 911 would be reasonable to maintain WRX will get stolen or smahsed into EVO yeah cool, but doesn't seem your style E36 m3 awesome do it But I think you would get bored after the V8 E39 540i/6 , Is everything a BMW should be and although not the fastest or the best handling would be more satisfying to hop into everyday and enjoy driving to where you need to be more so than the other options Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingkarl 136 Report post Posted March 15, 2010 You definitely need an alfa my friend. Very cool, awesome interior, great looking, the V6 is very peppy and sounds amazing, they're stiffly sprung, so will handle well (minus the whole V6 FWD thing) and very rewarding to drive. Relatively reliable too. Did I mention cool? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forrest 35 Report post Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) IMO you can't have a daily faster than the weekend car, so take that into consideration lol. Edited March 15, 2010 by Forrest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huff3r 347 Report post Posted March 15, 2010 If i had that kinda money id stick with a cheapish car and be looking into an investment property, or even just a house to live in! Once the mortgage is paid the rent is $0 so you can't beat that, and then you'll have plenty to spend on cars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle 1662 Report post Posted March 15, 2010 Out of that list id take Grahams touring as a daily, enough power, bit of room, cheap to run & reliable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This would be an awesome car (Imola Red 330i/6 that you posted) haha thanks man, technically only 20k but have approved finance. Working long and hard and saving like crazy for stuff i want has paid off in the end. Im loving the e46 and apex touring at the mo ay, tough choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 1 Report post Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) That red 330i is the mutts nuts but an e39 540i is so much better value for money - faster and bigger and more toys. I know I'd prefer to have some money in the bank, or save myself from going into debt. I'd also happily go back to a tidy E30 for a DD. Fast cars are a waste around town and just make it more tempting to misbehave. Edited March 15, 2010 by Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjay 8 Report post Posted March 15, 2010 I have inside word he's getting a R32 Rb30t, black. iLol'd. In all seriousness, sit in a bloody car you've listed and testdrive it. Easy way to see what you like or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cale 36 Report post Posted March 15, 2010 Oh my, I would be losing sleep over this if I was in our position. That yellow 911 is badass, and even more badass as a DD, but unrealistic. My money would be spent on Grahams Touring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted March 15, 2010 given my previos post it shoud come as no surprise i would take either of the whaletailed 911s. Probably the latter. Was going to trade my E30 for a 924 (wasnt the best condition and was auto, but engine was low kms and at that stage i was used to auto anyway) early last year had the paperwork signed and everything but then mutual agreement to not go through with it. Wish i had in some ways. Take that E46 330i. badass. Im a Porsche man. But id still take a BMW over one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sammy J 1 Report post Posted March 16, 2010 Drove a 3.0 Porsche today, was immaculate like amazing, however it felt old compared to the few 3.2 911's i have driven so didn't go down that route. New DD sorted.... Watch this space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
