So… I’m stuck between these two cars… If I did come down to buying one…which is not a sure thing…i’m not sure exactly which one is the best…
I really like these cars…they come with about 165HP 2.3 litre cosworth engine.
I like the looks more than the m3…and it’s a 4 door. I can find a high milage one for much cheaper than the m3…
the pluses with the bmw is there were a lot more made…more of an aftermarket and I beleive cheaper parts and they come with 200hp… I don’t like the styling as much though and they are impossible to find for under 10 grand.
I’d really like to stay under the 10 grand mark
what Do you guys think?
I am open for many suggestions agian… i’d really like to stay under the 10 g mark.
an M3 is going to run you 15k anyway you look at it. If you buy one for less, its going to need whatever the difference in price is put into it.
Not only that, but they are a bitch to maintain, you need to get the valves adjusted every 5-10k (i forget the actual intervals, but they are short), the motors blow all the time because they are basically a race motor.
Seriously the M3 would never make a good daily.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE this car, but I could never build one with the stock s14.
i guess I don’t have an entierly good answer to that,besides the fact that I want an older (e30 or the 190E) because its so much more of a drivers car and less comfy then that of a e36.
I know i haven’t driven either but just by reading about them I know what I want.
I want a really RAW feeling car… if that helps…
and to the daily driver comment? I hate when people say that…I’ve seen plenty of e30’s and older 190’s that people drive daily? I won’t drive her in the winter obv…
Sure, I know a kid who has one in Hamburg. Not too easy to find though, but thats why its unique…
I can tell you lots about Urs4s, 180k is a ton of miles, but if the owner has really kept up with maintenance I would consider buying it. Chances are that it needs alot of work and is not worth 7K. Owning mine has been ok, parts are reasonable, and the car was nicely modded. It still needs some work to get it to where I want it, but its nice daily especially in the snow.
