BMW E36 Forum

When you've had your fun with your e36 or it needs to much work and its gonna be cheaper to just buy a new car, what will you get?
I have to sell one of my cars, either the 323 or my Mitsi Legnum cause im paying out €640 every 3 months for the tax alone, €100+ a week in petrol and €2200 a year in insurance. That breaks down to just under €200 a WEEK to keep both my cars on the road. I love my Mitsi weekend car with its 4 way diff and 360bhp but then you cant beat sitting on the motorway in the 323 everyday on my way to work. Sooooo, im thinking, sell my Mitsi (about €5500 value) buy a cheap nissan or toyota to do me for work and use the remaining of my profit and my spare time (about 25hours a week) and put a behemoth of an engine in my 323 and turn that into my weekend car!!! If i was to do it i would go for a V8 4 litre engine or bigger from a 5 series, it would be ridiculous and handle like poo but it would be stormer quick.

At the minute im only cloud talking but i will have to sell one of my cars

Anyway back to my original question, what car will YOU be going for when your e36 is gone. To make it interesting add a, if money was no object answer and a realistic answer.

If my E36's gone I would buy an E46 M3.

e46 M3 ^^
e30 M3 cabrio
e31 850ci

Lots of possibilities, but only BMW

Yea i considered an 850 but it would have to be a 850csi. A neighbor of mine has an 840ci sitting in his garage the last while now. A bloke i used to work with has a 318 e30 that was re-ended last week. I heard someone talking bout it earlier and he is looking to give it away, so im thinking of taking it off his hands for my own little project

Having a acceptable anticipate about what you will use your car for will alpha to accord you a acceptable abstraction of what you need. So abounding humans get bent up in what they want, they carelessness to accede what they in fact charge and what car will absolutely clothing their day to day driving.
