Hey guys, I'm going back to the motherland (Belgium) here in a while. What should I do car-wise?
I still currently own a 92 318ic that I gave to my brother, but could take back off him if I buy a decent replacement:


Or I could pick up the same (read M40b18) touring:

Which would kind of be a downgrade imho.

Or an e36 320i touring (not too bad tax wise, but uses as much gas as a 325i=expensive) or a 318tds wagon, 1.7L turbo diesel fury of a motor (90hp)


Or a 318ti (m42) / 318tds hatchback:


I could always get a loan and get into something like this:



so far 318ic sounds best to me. It'll be a great commuter (when I'm not riding my bike or the metro), cheap on gas, cheap on tax and cheap on insurance.. 318tds would be even cheaper though, but much less fun.

i like the e36 touring

-Motor swaps are not legal,
-Fiat punto are pretty bad ass, but out of my budget:

-Alfa Romeo: god i'd love one, but reliability always worries me, but a 147 JTD is a hot car
-e36 touring... yeah it's a pretty nice car, kind of big for the city.


and TDE30/Trey, for the love of god, please stop post whoring, I will drive to your house a take a dump on your dog if you continue. <3

VW Polo diesel. Boring - yes....but a good city car and a sipper in the fuel department. Or at least a Golf TDI if you need a bit more room.

I think a Seat would be pretty cool too, if you had the money.

If you haven't driven one the 318ti is a pretty fun car with good fuel economy.
But how bout this?
