Seta or 325is?

[Swanny]

if by rocks you mean dumb as rocks. Y is this even in this sub-forum.
Take the opinion threads to general discusion with the rest of the noob's who are trying to build their post count.

AND AS FAR AS R3V GOES, [B]THINK FIRST[B] before posting, make sure the thread will get you the response your after, and if its just opinions your after- don't be mad if people give you shit when you don't have all your info and pics ready.

AND LASTLY, never call someone out on the forum unless your actually know them, chances are they have been around e30's since before you learned what BMW stands for.

British motor work right?

The fuck did I just read?

Buy the car that is the least messed with. Any car that is "flat black" is more than likely the type of car that has cut and spliced wires, no maintenance, and poorly, ill fitted modifications done to it. In other words, more than likely worthless and more headache than sense.

Oh, and I wrote this on my iphone...

Don't be a dick...

You must be new here...

All he was saying is that giving you advice would be much easier if you were direct in exactly what you wanted. Supplying pictures, stating important facts (year, milage, condition, color, model) in the FIRST post allows people to give you a straight up answer instead of fishing you for more information.

With hat said, if you have a chance to get a cheap iS, it is much more worth it in the long run than a SETA.

that eta looks like a pile.

if $2k comes with the motor I think the answer is pretty obvious. the seta hardly makes a lot more torque than a stock B25 anyway, it's going to be slower any way you slice it.

i believe she has been scared off and just a quick note to the guy about posting this in the general discussion forum..it was posted there first and was moved here so calm down

The "is" is currently getting a motor put In so it's hard to say details on that car and like I said once I get pics ill put them up. "Seta has virtually no rust and I kno every part that has been replaced and the "is has some rust but nothing to major that isn't fixable in a day or 2. And the "is" is just a shell at the moment. New trans and motor being built. 5 speed good clutch. Idk I've never driven an "is" but the "seta" is fun.

The SETA will be slow, the b25 is hands down better and like Nando said above; the trq difference is so small you will not notice it. You WILL notice the drop in HP in the SETA.

And get some respect, you asked a question then started posting a single sentence response after another. Collect your thoughts and put everything you want to say in one response. You can edit the post at anytime to add and remove.

Welcome to r3v/the internet.

My apologies. I just recently got into bmws thru my boyfriend and his friends so I'm not gonna say I'm an expert that's y I came here to the all knowing to ask opinions..no disrespect to anyone. :hitler:

buy the one in better shape. With the iS getting a new motor, check it out very carefully to avoid gremlins/problems in the future. I prefer the etas - the torque difference is very noticeable and they return better mileage.

The 325is is more hipster , so get that.

+1,

Me Eta is awesome at the auto-x no need to rev it up. I was 1.5 sec slower then a S52 swapped e30 with way more susp work done and a driver used to his car on R compound tires. (we were both on the same type of tire)
