Thanks anyway. ok probably better off with a 318is coupe in auto , get the later 96 -98 ones with the 1.9l engine or go a for a 328i coupe auto they go alright and cost less to run , and easier to work around a 4cyl engine lots of space in the front Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted July 20, 2012 Looks a bit tacky with all those random add ons. If you could get it for 3-3.5k it might be worth it, but the engine would still be gutless... so perhaps just look for a 2.5 or 2.8 model. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSPYZ1 1 Report post Posted July 21, 2012 Just no indeed! Joke add ons that only devalue it and no doubt it'll be the bane of you and you daughters live. There are so many rad Bims that pop up for good money and keep it clean and pure, keep you eye out. No disrespect to the owner, but first rule of fresh club is don't fake the funk it's better to pull badging than add it........you'll have someone thinking BMW made an M3 motorbike with side car and tri-spoke wheels with the false application of badging. Good luck hunting, find her something good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antil33t 90 Report post Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) I'm going to get flamed to hell for this, but any new driver should be driving a Manual. If you can't cope with a Manual you can't cope with the road. Unless you are disabled. Edited July 21, 2012 by antil33t Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you are disabled. I do agree......She can drive manual, but certainly more used to the Automatic......and if it makes me happier when she is out on the road that she doesn't have too much to think about then this is what she'll get. If she wants to change when she's older then all good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I reacon it ought to be compulsory to at least learn & be familiar with driving a manual, even if as above - they opt for an auto Edit, BTW That car is tacky, if it aint an M3...

If she wants to change when she's older then all good. That's fair - I don't see a problem with the choice, only when someone doesn't have the co-ordination to opreate a manual, they aren't co-ordinated enough to drive. I don't think anyone was having a go at you or your daughter, just general comments. I can certainly see why you'd want an auto in Auckland anyway. I really do think that car is to be avoided with a barge pole. It's likely never been looked after "properly" and certainly will have something dodgy done to it. It's pretty ghey. I realise the E30 (you posted previous) probably isn't as "cool" for a young girl to have, but they aren't a bad choice. You're probably best with a 318i of some description, and the E36 Compacts aren't too bad for the money either. Resonably small and easy to park, still quite safe. If you are looking at 320i, you may as well get a 325i or 328i, otherwise stick with the 318i for economy. The 6's use very similar amounts of fuel anyway, sometimes the 320i uses MORE than the others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
