sammcj2000 1 Report post Posted November 17, 2010 I had a manual 320 (e36 mind you), It was a good wee car, but I got annoyed by two things: -Basically the same power as a 318. -Basically the same fuel consumption as a 325. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sammcj2000 1 Report post Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) get a e34 Yeah aye, E34 540 + Manual conversion = Very Happy Chappie. So much more style than a Holden, even for an older car... Edited November 20, 2010 by sammcj Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sammcj2000 1 Report post Posted November 20, 2010 Not the first time I've had that said to me. I'm young, but I've owned a LOT of different cars from different manufacturers, BMW's are by no means perfect, but they have this fantastic nack' (to me at least) of feeling more like an extension (no, not that kind of extension!) than a utility, I really truly think they're crafted very well and styled with being timeless in mind (well, most models espesh E21,E30,E36,E46,E34). Anyway, what ever you end up getting - I hope you enjoy it!

You are so right, My car is far from perfect, but I cant imagine parting with it and I wouldn't be buying another car if we didn't need 2 cars now.....
