OK, I have 2x E30s, and may soon sell the Sport.....what would be a fun alternative, manual box, etc....assuming no insurance problems (old git) and maybe Ԛ£3-5k range to spend. Thoughts anyone ??

It also has a fitting M3 number plate...
I love these cars - they are terrifying.

E36 328. refined, powerful, still a BMW (granted no soul), or otherside, a Land Rover for some off road fun!

Subaru Impreza - anyone have thoughts on these toys ? But no style or class, by comparison to E30. Not easy choice - VW Corrado VR6 might be interesting ? Z3M coupe look the business, but 12k+ pricing. Not much on offer for 3-5k.

Corrado VR6 fast fun and should hold value,without silly running costs;and I don't like VW as a rule.

Realistically , for the same money or a grand more, a 200sx or an s2. The S2 is a fucking machine! lancias are great cars but show even the worst e30s how to rust and break down.
If it had to be a beemer, obviosuly an m5 or a 328i/m3 e36 i think
dave ae86 corolla what a chariot, what was the top of the line model of these? great cars!

Much as it naturally pains me to agree with Daz,

he's spot on. Although you'll get three for Ԛ£3k.
Certainly, don't bother looking at an MX-5. Driven an '02 1.6 recently, admittedly very nippy, but no visibility (obviously) and
on the skittish side (i.e. terrifying) at speed. Also, of course, massivley
ghey.
If you're really looking for trouble, an E28 M535i. Mwahahahaaaaa...

E36 Compact + a motor sport kit from FAB Direct

Lighter than all the other E36's and cuter

that and it still has plenty of E30 genes.
