DD choice

[RobE30]

I bought a 93 Landcruiser for a daily over the summer and its been a cool truck to drive, it sucks to drive on windy back roads and narrow city streets. The Landcruiser is going to find a new home soon. I'm looking at the following for a dd;

-95 525it, stock, auto

-02 Imprezza Outback Sport (somehow I ended up with stock 05 STi suspension so that will be going on the OBS)

-08 Rabbit, 5spd, airbags (they're going if I get it), ecu flash, new clutch and Techtonics exhaust

I don't have a lot of time to fool around with a dd (another reason I'm selling the Landcruiser) and want something that is relatively get in and go. I know all cars need to be maintained but I don't want a project every damn week.

Besides the fact its an awesome car, why the E34?

If you want to sell the Cruiser, shoot me a PM, might be interested.

I vote for the Subaru it will probably be most trouble free and easiest to work on

I dd an e34, 535i lol

[Stanley Rockafella]

i vote rabbit. 08 was first year of 170ish tq and hp. These were also some of the first and last rabbits made in germany. Also more reliable and cheaper to maintain that the other choices

[RobE30]

I drove the Rabbit and the 525 today. Both are nice but the e34 feels much more solid. I know they're totally different cars so I expected that.

I like the Rabbit but don't have 8k laying around and instead of having a car payment, I could buy the e34 and put some $$ into my e30s paint job.

Tomorrow I'm driving the Subaru so we'll see how that goes

Why not an E36 318i? You can pick a decent one up for 2,500

[RobE30]

Didn't even think about that. Thanks

Any of them would be great. I DD an e34 525 and it's awesome. The Subaru is a great choice especially for a winter DD. The rabbit wouldn't be bad either. My brother daily drove one for 89K trouble free miles aside from your basic maintenance stuff.

i would get a e39 528i since they are cheap and readily available and just a far better chassis then the e34. Decent gas mileage too.And the aftermarket is far superior as well. If you are ok with 18-21 mpg get a 540i, expect to replace all 8 coil packs though, just go ahead and do them to save yourself the trouble or having to diagnose intermittent coil pack failure 8 times.I think they are 38 a piece on rock auto. Plan on getting nickel and dimed constantly too unless its very well kept.
