I dont think its too small(tho i do enjoy my leg room) but the people in the back seat during a long trip will think its way to small.

i was thinking about something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-6...21532817QQrdZ1

those arnt like realy small are they?(bigger then the 3-series e30-e36?)

witeshark · 03-14-2006, 09:32 PM

They are bigger than an E30, near the size of an E36 I think

craig · 03-14-2006, 09:55 PM

yeah... i guess im just going to have to take an e36 for a test drive and see if i like it or not. BMWLotAttendant, got any e36/e30's at the dealership where you work?

BTW, you could mod out the exhuast, a 4.0L six with dual exhuasts and possibly a flowmaster would sound sick! Then get a snorkle, just incase..

Damnit, I want one now...

I drove someones cherokee sport that was a 5 speed 4.0L its also really easy to drive!

And a good second car umm something not to powerful, or hard to drive when you want to push it, or you'll probably total it..

**Numark318i** · 03-15-2006, 01:04 AM

635 ftw. although thats alot of power. I think?!
5 series?

Craig, I think I'ld wait until you're a little closer to purchasing time then to plan now..lol. Didn't you just get the T bird? (I know it's fun to dream) There's alot of things that'll change between now & then - I'd concentrate on getting the "bird" set up before planning another project.

**nightdevils** · 03-15-2006, 09:31 AM

yeah dude, its 2006 and even though the e30s look cool as hell there is a limit to how long you can keep running one.. a slightly newer car should both look and feel good and save you money on purchase and maintenance

nick_318is · 03-15-2006, 11:21 AM

Dont talk that way about e30s mines gonna run forever, i wanna be burried in it with the engine running.

**nightdevils** · 03-15-2006, 11:35 AM

I sure hope so, the amount of faith you guys put into it, it better last another 80 years

haha, i was waiting for someone to say that. but the way i see it, plan early that way you dont end up with something you hate.(you like it when you first get it, but after you have had it for a while, you realy start to hate it.)

and how about an S4? how reliable are those? they can look extreamly good too. and its 4-door so i wont have any problem with room(i prefer a coupe, but i like the way the s4 looks.)

nick_318is · 03-15-2006, 03:15 PM

The s4 is a good car and you can mod them to get a pretty good ammount of power.

craig · 03-15-2006, 03:22 PM

the only problem i have with the audi, is the understeer. how bad would the understeer in that car be?
