Let's have a beer and talk about e46 BMW's shall we?

I never understood the “I want to try soooo hard to look like I’ve got some money that I want to drive a 318/323/etc.”

Where did anyone suggest this?

Walter assumes things a lot, it’s okay though, down syndrome is a hell of an issue.

3-series drive nice, and even though they are the “cavaliers/cobalts” of BMW’s line, they still are better designed and refined then most mid-level domestic and imports of the same price range.

Plus, you find me a comfortable RWD platform in the 8-12k range, f-bodies don’t count.

It’s the whole notion: Would you rather be the starter on a losing team or a bench warmer on a winning team?

Why do you want/need a RWD car as a DD again? You’re looking for a sporty, rwd car. That leads people to believe you want a car that you can do some spirited driving in right? If that’s the case, you should spend your time at least looking for a 330ci. I think that’s all he is trying to say.

If you were a barbie girl who just wants the bimmer logo I guess a 323 would suffice. But the fact that you’re on nyspeed suggest that you’d be happier with a 330ci but couldn’t afford it. But smart move with not buying now and waiting until you can actually afford one.

Entry level cars have crappy parts, crappier interior materials, less features, and shit-tastic engines, suspensions, seats, wheels and brakes. But hey! You get to pay the same premiums for parts and service though! Sweet!

Are you serious?

Congratulations Chris, you’re still a bench-warmer on a losing team :tup:

You speaking from experience?

Since the statement was wrong, I’m going to guess not.

Affordability wasn’t the question, a 330ci would’ve been well within my limits. I just found more 323/325/328ci’s. I’ve said it time and time again, I don’t need a fast car. I wanted an affordable, comfortable RWD. It made no difference in my situation to spend the extra money on a car that I would not notice the difference in compared to the lesser.

Just my 2 cents.

Had I not had the option of a FREE car, I would have a 3XX-series in my driveway right now.

Walter, thanks but I like to think I’m still a winner on a winning team: no car payments, cheap insurance, and still have another vehicle that “won’t get crushed” on on-ramps…which btw…I fucking love lol

You’re right, I’ve never owned any german cars, nor spent extensive time both working on and driving models across the entire product range.
