I also take it that you bear absolutely no interest whatsoever in the E46 M3/CS/l.

I just objected to this guy calling me a twat, simply for defending a Ford Ka. I've never said it's anything great but simply put my view across that as cheap and cheerful transport it's perfectly okay. My point also was to say that I had one as well as some very nice cars - I'm not a snob. Christ, my everyday car is an E32 730i worth about 10 pence and a button.
Allowed me to get in touch with my feminine side. But when I found she'd put an S Club 7 CD in the head unit, she had to go I would rather have my 323i than the 840Ci. The 840Ci is big, heavy, not much quicker in a straight line (in a way that will matter to me anyway), and I am fairly sure it wouldn't handle as well my car. True I have not driven one or raced against one but I have raced against similar cars and I have driven cars that are reported to handle better and my 323i handles at least as well as them. That is what is important to me so that is why I would prefer my car. Sure the 840Ci has luxury stuff and would be comfortable on long journeys but that means very little to me. Also a 840Ci is not a Ferrari 360 and an Escort 1600 is not an E30 323i.Andyboy999 wrote:Aston - if you would rather have some old 323i than an 840Ci, you need to get out more and at least give yourself a talking to.

An old E9 CSL is indeed a nice museum exhibit (and a lousy car) and an Alpina C1 2.3 is indeed a crappy old 323i with some nice bits.

Now seems like a good time to kiss and make up. No point in having stupid arguments with guys you don't know and who you'd probably get on well with down the pub.

Consider it all forgotten, everyone has their opinions. I shouldn't have even replied to the forum question in the first place it's obvious what it was designed for.

It is true that right now I am not in a position to buy one BUT I will be in the near future and I am currently looking at another car to buy in a price range that actually includes a secondhand 840Ci and the 840Ci is NOT on my list of cars and I doubt it ever will be. I would give up my 323i for a Ferrari 360 (or even a 355 if anyone is offering
So I stand by what I said I would rather my 323i than all the cars you mentioned and a lot of other cars. I don't think it is the best car in the world, it is a long way from that, but I do think it is a lot better than a many other cars. This is all in my opinion, I'm not trying to change anyone elses.
Finally if you really did mean what you said and you were not joking than you really are being an immature twat like JoeP said. We were talking about the E30 and Ka and you have to slag their car and list all the cars you have owned that (you think) will make you seem better than us and are unrelated to this topic? You don't even know what cars the original poster owns, just because he has a 323i doesn't mean it is his only car. I think you need to grow up a bit or learn to deal with your insecurities or something.

Would have been nice if you bothered to quote that whole point, I said "not much quicker in a straight line (in a way that will matter to me anyway)". What matters to me is on the track and on the tracks here that performance difference will matter very little. Also my 323i is not standard. The point I was trying to make was that there are different cars for different people (the 8 series would be a great GT), don't discriminate against them becuase they currently have a particular car.Andyboy999 wrote:You are of course joking..........right? A 323i was an averagely fast(ish) car 23 years ago. A Golf GTi would have been just as fast.
0-100 in a 323i takes 24 seconds. An 840Ci does it in just over 17. It's called having 286 bhp and a shitload of torque. I doubt a 323i is electronically limited to 155 either! An 840Ci is the same length as an E34 5 Series. Hardly huge.
Money has nothing to with being insecure, I'm not sure why you brought that up.As for insecurites....well I paid Ԛ£16'500 for my 840Ci from a BMW agent as a five year old car. Lots of folk pay that for a new Ford Focus and you wouldn't call them flash - or would you?
Likewise the Sport Evo I had cost Ԛ£12'000. Or the price of some new Holden sh*theap. Again, not an incredibly expensive car in the real world.
Exactly my point! You are the one that had to bring them into this conversation when they are really unrelated to the topic just to compare them to someone elses car in a way that it seemed was intended to make their car (and even them) seem inferior.So I've had two not incredibly expensive used cars. So what?
It says I am happy with my current car and I know what I want from my future purchases. You say I wouldn't swap for either, I never said that. If you are talking about the E30 M3 Sport Evo then I would seriously consider it, please PM me the details.As for saying you wouldn't swap your $2000 323i for either says more about you I'm afraid. Just deal with it.
d lock the thread!

How can you define better? there are many things a ford Ka can do better than an E30. consume fuel economically, hold its value, appeal to a mass market.
If its such an awesome car then why did BMW make the decision to stop production any idea?
its taken up to much space on the interweb 
Sorry dont agree with you. If someone paints their car lime green with pink pokadots then i think veryone is entilted to their own opinion regardles of what they may own. That may include slagging but its a free country or was last time I looked.Andyboy999 wrote: The moral here - don't slag anything off unless you've actually got something worth owning yourself.
My last word on this. Goodnight!
