What's a semi-interesting DD for 25K?

im pretty sure he already pulled the trigger on something…

Walker hit the nail on the head here. Somewhat fun to drive, decent gas milage, good space in a e90, nice interiors and price range is on point. I literally am going through this faze now, as I sold my e90, except my budget is half of yours you God damn baller lol. Good luck buddy.

can these be had with a manual transmission?

edit: nope. lame.

For 25k or less doubt you will get one still under CPO and the reliability is sketchy at best

Yup, that lasted long lol.

[scotts94_z28]

Lexus IS350 or Infinity G37

[ultradriver10000]

only logical choice

Turbo AWD with cargo space

I know they had some HPFP issues but I thought that had been resolved through software updates. Something about cavitation.

HPFP, Injectors, Water pump, intake build up, turbo, wastegates, etc

There is a reason you can buy a 2008 335i for 16k now :lol:

yeah literally the only negative, my e90 with snows was a beast to drive in the snow and a ton of fun. Should have a worry there

Ordered you a shirt for it:

[jimmyfloyd]

Isuzu Vehicross. Probably older than you want, but pretty unique(ugly) and came in Flashy Colors.

My waterpump just went on Wednesday. The parts alone are about $600.

However, other than a coil pack giving me issues ($35 part and easy to change) this car has been very reliable and fun. No HPFP issues. Turbos are fine. Wastegates rattle which is annoying, but not hurting anything. And i’m about to hit the 100k mile mark.

The common issues really tanked resale for these cars but that just means if you do your research and find a good example you can get into a fun car for a great price.

@XwalkerX

used 335d

@XwalkerX

:bloated:

@newman

Only reservation on 335d is I’d rather have AWD

@Shifty

How about a 200h

These are the 2 cars I’ve been researching lately. I agree with the AWD. If the A3 was AWD with TDI i’d be all over it.

[maxwell]

A3 in 6mt with AWD would have been ideal. heavy sigh

[theblue]

diesel is horrible right now when you look at the cost of gas.

can probably get into a CPO audi A3 with the 2.0T (that chips to 270/320) and AWD.

[Jam]

Turbo, awd, plenty of cargo space. You would just have to fabricate a turbo set up (you ever do that before? May be a bit outside of your comfort zone)

Or just get a more luxurious, better looking, already turbo one-
