Maybe he actually wants to make it to work without breaking down.

If you need to ask someone why they sold a Corrado for a BMW, then you probably have never driven one. My brother ha a 99 M3 and it is just another world. When they say "the ultimate driving machine" they are not bragging, just stating the facts. Those cars do exactly what you tell them to without any back talk. Very unlike our beloved Corrados. My next car will be a M roadster and I might miss my money hungry PITA C once in a while, but not that bad.

bmw's are pimp. We smacked down a 98 m3 in our "Steptronic" lol 2002 330ci in a deathmatch through the city. Got thumbs up from the owner as neither could pull or outhandle each other. They are pretty pimp too, and pretty f'ing expensive.
but thats what a bumper to bumper is for. Thats the best part of the bimmer

I've driven both my friend's 318 and 325. Even if the 318 was more budget oriented, its incredibly solid, runs flawlessly with 130K miles, and the interior is great quality. The 325 is the same and more. And even though the 318 isn't super fast, its still a kick to drive. If I had the money, I would get a BMW in a second. But probably as a second car.

Try Pelican Parts, they got a decent forum although it is not as good as the Vortex. Not as many members and it takes a while to get any answers or help.

If you find any others let me know.

My brother sold his 93 slc corrado for a 1995 m3. And he said it was his biggest mistake. So he has done this first hand and he says once he pays off his m3 hes going right back to a corrado. So bmws are cool but corrados are way more original and i guess to my brother he thinks there alot more funner. You also have to think about the money factor. Blow a head gasket in a corrado- $200 tops, then blow a head gasket in an m3 and your damn broke. lol. Yeah he loves his m3 but wishes he still had his corrado.

I don't know, I love them both. I have a 325i and a G60 Corrado and they are both great in their own way. If you have the right sources, parts for the BMW are not that bad. Besides there isn't much that braeks on them as long as you give it some preventative maintenance.
There is a few things that you can't do your self because of the special tools neede. That can be frustrating. Like replacing a noisy $14 lifter. You need a special fixture to remove the cams other wise you run the risk of braeking it (they are hollow). That turns out to be a $1000 job (while you are in there may as well change all the lifters).
Anyway, you can't really compare BMW to Corrados, they are completely different, one beying a front wheel drive and the other beying a rear wheel drive. IMHO they are both fun in their own way.
