What ele, if not an E30 !?

[M3Tony]

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 ??

[dazleeds]

e21 323i

...any good?


It also has a fitting M3 number plate...

I love these cars - they are terrifying.

Original 6 Series....

Audi s2 or possibly just about reach to an early bi turbo s4.

[SCOTT325SE]

delta integralle, e21, rs4 audi, e46 are a couple of REALISTIC cars that would have been on my list if i hadnt spunked a fortune on my sport.

[FBF]

id take an audi A8 maybe even save up a few more quid for the S8 although they are hard to come by

[swindy]

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

[Ziggy]

E34M5/S14200SX/Quattro/Camaro

[e30bemer]

would have to be a off roader!

such as a defender!

[M3Tony]

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.

[cliffybabe]

Mercedes CLK

[pnd]

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

[Dan318-is]

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!

Everyones forgotton about the good old mk1 RS Turbo!!

bit hard to get the back end out!

[tomson]

Apparently you've had no experiance in FWD cars!!

The rear end comes out, just differently

[tomson]

Its called a "handbrake!!"

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...

[e30bmlover]

e34 m5.. end of.

W202 Mercedes C280 Sport...

For Ԛ£5k...?

[Blondencheeky]

huh? oh, sorry... missed that bit....

but... reading back... where can you get a mercedes CLK for 5k?! Can i have one?!

[billgatese30]

but... reading back... where can you get a mercedes CLK for 5k?! Can i have one?!

where are you gonna get half of the cars mentioned for 5K that aren't gonna drop apart or blow up with in a month

[M3Tony]

If a newer M3, what version, engine, etc is best package ? S50 3.0 M3 ? 286 bhp .... but still beemer quality, etc. ?

[JazzMan]

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.

[Taz]

300zx twin turbo (fairlady)

[oguz327]

a tastey e21, e28 or e34 M5.

Keep it bm
