Deciding on my new car, and im deciding to go back to Euro after owning a mint example of a genuine classic BMW E30 325i Motorsport.

Trying to decide on what now tho.....

BMW!
They are just so mint, even though mine's only a 1.9 it's still car that would pack some punch around a track, and it handles perfectly.
Depending what you wanted, I'd go for a 325i, something I couldn't afford when I got mine. BMW's are awesome cars, good for out-running commodores with shit handling.

Merc all the way, nothing like the bling of the Merc, great for cruising, great for pulling...

For what you've got in mind, I'd say Merc. Dump it, chrome it, pull it, tap it, gap it

BMW if your more interested in performance/handling etc (my pic)

Nothing wrong with my BMW so far...
42,000kms, 1996, only had to replace all the shocks and springs

nah dont do it man , there is way to many mercs and bloody beemers lowered out chromes and crap hanging out the shore wit all the little shore wanker boys .
Be original Audi - now thyat wood be a kewl euro and there aint to many done up , mmm audi rs-4 wagon , nice engine too , or we could rotor it

Haha "chucka rota in it au" haha.
Im looking into the option of a MERC 190e at the moment, or maybe a BMW 328i Motorsport... dam decisions are hard to make for a nice car.
Yea i agree all the boys (pritty boys) on the shore are wankers, "oh lets just let mummy & daddy buy our cars" haha
Get a real car!

Haha, that's why I havn't touched my BMW yet. Don't wana look like every other one "sacked" on ugly chromes.
I was following a black 320i sedan the other day, was a "Chosen Few" one, it cut corners and bumped around the place, what a pile of shit.

This was my old BMW


My mates got a 4dr 320i manual bemma, that is sacked and bouncy azz, goes threw tired so quick! But he in the middle of dng a 13bt conversion! So that shud be INSANE when finished

Bouncy cars = POLICE target

Oh man , u should have kept ur old beemer that is one sereiously nice ride !
Another couple of euros wit bang for buck the renault clio animal or a peugeot 206 gti .
Or we could go insane and do a jag with a 20 b !!!
Now how many jag owners could u piss off with tht

Yea yours is low k's tho, autos are known to be aroung the 3000-4000 mark to overhall, and apprently they crack heads

Where's the "audi" option?

There is not much a 4K doesn't leave in it's wake...

unless its the cosworth version!

sorry to say it, buts mercs are real pices of sh*t. we used to be the agent and still get heaps in. their reputation for quality is very overstated.
if you want to blow all your money on repairs and servicing buy a merc.

Merc for sure! Or a lexus. I would never have a BMW. My dad works next to a dealer and workshop for them and he sees about 10 towed in per day I must admint the new ones are quite nice but i would prefer a Merc. I have driven a 4 door 2.0 litre straight 6 bmw and it went well, handled good but I just didnt like it. (No offence Emperor ) Merc or Lexus would be my personal pref.

Seriously, BMW's are $&#$% great. I've NEVER had issues with mine and I thrash the shit out of it. All those "towed BMWs" must be from dickheads who put chromes and take the springs out.
