Postby rollas22 » Thu Jul 14, 2005 12:10 pm

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.

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. :?

For what you've got in mind, I'd say Merc. Dump it, chrome it, pull it, tap it, gap it ;)
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

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 :roll:

unless its the cosworth version! :twisted:

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 :lol: 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 :D ) 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. :roll:
