Maybe you would enjoy your cars more if you did some of the actual work on them and didnt just cut a check... just a thought.
As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.Comment

A good man knows his limitations. For those not confident and who don't have time/space/inclination/tools to learn, it would be best to leave it to the pros.

I would have picked the ix. Because its rarer, kind of a novelty for having a AWD sports sedan in the 80s.
Pros : AWD

Please. It takes a juniorhigh education to be able to wrench on cars professionally. Anyone with some determination can do it. Someone well-off-enough to be able to pay the pros for projects most probably has the mental capacity to not royally fuck things up. "time/space/inclination/tools" are excuses for someone in a decent socioeconomic position.

I like the 2 doors more visually, but if its meant to be a practical DD, i don't see why 4 door should be out of the question. Plus you can do mad doriftos with the 4 doors added rigidity, which is why TDE30 loves them so much.

For a daily driver, you might as well go with a 4dr for the slight gain in practicality. Not only is it easier to load objects into the interior(in many cases), but you also won't have to get out of the car when a 3rd or 4th person decides to ride along...one of the most annoying things about a coupe.
Also, coupes become a problem if you ever have to drive older people with bad backs (who'll have trouble climbing through the interior), or when you have to strap in car seats for kids, and you're contorting yourself to get everything buckled down properly.
You might not have to deal with any of these things, but in the words of Amy Poehler, "Bitch, I don't know your life!"
I own both, and the only difference driving wise is a slightly lower seating position in the coupe.

Without reading the entire thread here's my answer...
Nor cal is your only listed location...if you regularly head to the mountians I'd grab the Ix hands down, after having pickups in both 2 and 4 wheel drive the 4x4s are much nicer in the snow, it won't get you any further, but less hastle with chains and muck.
If you live where it's twisty back roads but you don't head to the SNOW regularly grab the 318is, better fuel economy, less overall weight, a lot less weight on the front end so it'll be more fun on the winding back roads, pick-and-pull is full of fairly cheap e30s, if anything breaks you can almost always find it there and keep the enjoying an affordable car effect.
4 door...you got kids or something? It might make a fun sleeper if you keep it stock looking and drop in a 300 hp s52
This place is like catholic school, 2/3 of the students smoke weed on a daily basis, but the faculty seems to convince the outside world that drugs are just in the other schools, the resident pot dealer thinks he's cool because he has the originality to call anyone he doesn't like a homosexual, and most of the little children follow him like sheep, then there's the few with brains, you hardly ever hear from them, perhaps don't even know they exist, but they get all the sh!t done.Comment
