TractionControl posted:Oh god. I have a BMW problem.. BMW overload. Am I right about this? M5, E30, E36, M3 - left to right? My first car was almost a 1989 325is, owned by a mechanic who dropped an engine into it 90k miles ago; 5 speed and just a whole lot awesome(for $2500 nontheless). Parents intervened and insurance didn't really like it(although i'm pretty sure my dad checked for FULL coverage instead of just liability...). There are BMWs in my future though, most definetely. Edit: TractionControl, E30s are so drat sexy, especially in red.

There a 2008 328 wagon on sale with 100k miles in my price range (10k ish), this is a terrible idea right? Everything around the engine starts breaking around the engine at this many miles and it's really expensive to fix. But it's red and has a manual and and....

Anyone driving a 128/228/230 here? I'm a previous miata owner and looking for something similar in driving characteristics. Gobs of power aren't super important to me so that's why I'm not as interested in the x35/x40 cars, although considering how hard it is to find a manual in these, I might not have a choice. What big mechanical issues am I looking at for cars with 80k+ miles besides the usual coolant system stuff? Are the turbos holding up beyond 120-140k miles?

What sort of things fall apart on 128s that I need to pay close attention to in a used car? Seems to check all the boxes for me, smooth 6, rwd, small, 2 doors.

It's pretty hilarious when people say they don't have enough power to "get out of trouble", same bullshit as you hear from people in motorcycling world. You know you can also slow down too right?

Alarbus posted:They're out there, I had to get out of my 328 because I wasn't fixing the AC, but found a manual 335 xdrive. I did compromise on the color, so it's black on black, which I'm very negative on this weekend. Does the xdrive car feel different in handling? Is it mostly rwd and then puts power to the front when needed?

Probably really depends on your engine preference, no? 228 seemed to get a lot of love in camparos since it's lighter up front.

rscott posted:You can get a nice 128i M Sport for like $10k and it will feel a lot more like an old BMW than either generation of 2 series. Naturally aspirated inline 6, hydraulic steering, manual transmission, etc. Where are you finding these 128i, any trim, with a manual.

Bulky Bartokomous posted:Well, after a few year absence I can finally feel at home in this thread again. Picked it up yesterday. Just a 228i Xdrive but it feels the closest to the e46 330Ci I used to have of anything I've driven so far. Except noticeably faster. This is the modern BMW to buy, although I'd prefer with no xdrive.

Red_Fred posted:Yep. E92 rear looks great but the front looks terrible. E82 is better looking overall. I have always thought the E92 rear looked bad from the side. The rear wheel well always looked too small to my eye. That shrinking to a 1/2 series dimensions fixes this. Speeding chat. In AZ they are trying to pass a law that north of 85 would not be criminal speeding, so on our 75mph highways you could go 95 and get a $250 fine. Anything 10mph and under would cost $15 and not be reflected on your license. Russian Bear fucked around with this message at 05:32 on Mar 6, 2020 |

The A7 is my favorite sedan.

Data Graham posted:Disappointing to know that mine would only net me $10k at the absolute upper end if I pretty it up. Oh well, daily it every day until the comet hits I guess I think of the dollar difference between what I paid for a car and what I sold it for as the fee for driving/enjoying the car for that time. Always ends up being worth it to me.

Taking a second look at these pics today and I really like it except for the dumb grille, but I think I could grow to deal with it. I wonder what it looks like in black instead of chrome.
