It's finally my turn: E46 into E92
SEARCH UPDATE 12/4 bottom of page 3.
UPDATE PAGE 5: My Chassis doubled. 46 --> 92.
3/28 3000 mile update Pg. 5 Post #124
Final Update: 3/26/18- Car is sold; Moved onto an Infiniti Q50 Red Sport
So my E46 has 152k miles on it, after this most recent round of repairs I think it is a good idea to start considering viable replacement options. I love the car but at this point it needs to be in the hands of someone who can work on it themselves as the repair costs at shops are hard to justify relative to the car's value.
New or lightly used
$30k maximum out the door (tax/tag/title etc if from a dealer). Would prefer to be in the 25k range.
Under 30k miles.
Warranty preferred.
RWD or AWD (No FWD)
No hatches, no SUV's, no wagons. Sedan preferred but would consider the right coupe. Should be something with some semblance of sporting intentions/GT.
Bluetooth phone and aux input are about the only tech options I remotely care about.
If the car has bluetooth then I'll do manual, otherwise at this point I'd prefer my only and daily vehicle to have an automatic but I refer back to sporting intentions. I don't want to deal with a terrible slushbox so DSG/ZF8spd and similar are far preferred.
I also have little interest in rental spec cars w/o available sport packages and the like.
Having some difficulty finding vehicles within the criteria hence why I come to you for some help brainstorming. I'm willing to forgo the mileage cap for the right car so long as the mileage is still reasonable, not looking to jump from one high mileage vehicle into another; also take into consideration maintenance costs with any car approaching 50-60k. The right car means something special (e9x M3, cayman or other halo cars come to mind).
