If you want to balance performance and economy get a 320. Crap performance and crap economy, can't get more balanced than that

i'm talking of a combination that works cloggy is that your best contribution ?

The combination Cloggy wrote works. In a mysterious way, but it does.

A 318is well maintained is a very nice daily driver. I have been to the m50 route, but it's way too fast and thirsty for someone with a heavy foot. I am getting an m42 again, i believe...

Not many cars other than the e30 have got the character of an e30.

no, but i still prefer my e39 as daily, i preferred my e36 as a daily and i preferred my e46 as a daily

as for character i have my e24 in the garage, for fun my M52's compact and one day my e30 M3 will be back together and complete

I wish i had a new car as a daily, shame i would have to pay for it though.
