hello all... I have some money saved up to buy a rwd car... I've been debating whether or not to get an E30, or hold out and try and find a nice 944... however, at this point I think that getting the E30 would be more practical...
I need something that'll last me 10 or so years, that I can drive 5 people around comfortably in, and take guitars and amps around... I think an E30 325i would do the trick. I've done a fair amount of reading about them... but I want some unbiased opinions.
could I do most of the maintenance on one of these? How reliable are they? Obviously this will depend on the car, but say I find a nice 325i with 100k miles on it that has been well maintained for $3000... could I expect this car to last me to 250k w/o any major problems?
also... does anyone have a link to a review of the E30's? I would like to know curb weights, slalom speed, skidpad.. all that stuff...
and between the 325i and the 325is... I know the IS has LSD and nice wheels... but the sedan is pretty peppy too, right? what would you get?
thanks... http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
