Hi there
My name is Josh I'm from old man winter's bunghole, better known as Fargo, North Dakota, think Siberia you'll get the picture. I currently drive a 1988 Mercury Cougar Blue Max edition, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the 82-88 Cougar its basically a 5.0 mustang with more legroom and trunkspace. It has quite a few mods and is quickly becoming too much of a headache for a Daily Driver, I have been getting about 8 miles per gallon this winter  I joined this forum because I started looking for a new car recently with several options coming to mind, so I did a search for RWD, manual transmission cars for under 10k and I came up with about a dozen 328i's in my search area. Imagine my surprise at suddenly realizing that I could afford a Bimmer, so I thought I'd find a forum and learn some more about that car. I sell auto parts for a living and turn wrenches for extra cash so working on it won't be too much of an issue, I hope as the nearest dealer is 280 miles away. I'm a Ford guy always will be, I'll probibly never sell my cat, but I do need a DD. It would probibly get parked in the summer when my Cougar can get back to 15 miles a gallon.

welcome to the forum. I must agree with Nick_318is...You will probably want to park the Cougar and drive the BMW all the time...I was a Chevy guy always was until I got my first BMW and have never looked back!!! good luck with your search. I have a 328 and I love it. |

ah, so you want to start with the big toys (e46)? e46es for under 10k sound kinda cheap to me, especially with the 2.8 liter engine... you better check em right. Then again the fact that the next dealer is so far away might justify the price  |
