    I need your opinions

    I'm in Germany, and I want to build a cruiser.
    I have a U.S spec S52 with trans.
    I am considering a e28, e30 touring, or a e30 coupe.
    what do you think?

    what would be the pro's and Con's of each one?

    (one con is the e28's here aren't cheap.)

    All of R3V will say to build a touring. But really you need to build whichever car YOU want.

      I really can't decide,
      I need a pro's vs cons debate

        I don't really consider a small car like a e30 to be a cruiser. I think more of a mid size like the e28 would fit the bill. But like Matt said, build what you want.

            Europe never got an "S52" :p

            are you planning on bringing the car back with you one day?

                  I think an e28 would be epic, personally - haven't seen many s52 builds!

                      well tourings are easier to find, e28's are hard to find for a equal price.
                      the s52 is a us spec

                            E30 touring is more of a cruiser than the coupe because of the longer wheel base and you can fit a bunch of stuff in the back!

                              Longer wheel base? I'm pretty sure that's not the case.
