both are the same price.... The white one just gets the roof rack and ugly wheel taken off.

Of the two, I'd have to agree with the silver E36. It looks much less tacky and modded, which usually translates into someone who has taken care of the car and hasn't focused completely on aesthetics.

Why E36 though? Have you looked into any E34's?

Get the silver e36, the white one is way the F over priced.

I don't get why everyone is suggesting HUGE freaking cars like e34's and e28's, get the e36.

[Aptyp]

E28 is probably lighter than e36.


Anyway, why would a person ask for an opinion on model-dedicated forum? You know our answer, get a shiny e30.

I'd buy this. When you start with a superior platform there is a lot less to invest to make it your ideal car. Aesthetics, check, brakes, check, wheels, check, sport seats, (vaders) check.

Go for the silver 328. W/ some s52 cams their a very peppy engine. Driven a friends a bit and its a great car. And w/ the 4k for the car then you can go through the motor and stuff like that w/ general maintenance so that way it'll be a great daily. Most definitely not e34 though. Its big, has too many doors, everything an e30 isn't basically.

I have owned a 95 318ti now since 2005 and it has been a great car for me. even with a dinan chip it still lacks a bit in the power area, but its about the best daily driver I could ask for and gets great gas mileage. The ti also handles very well and it shares the same rear suspension as an E30 so its not too big of a step of away from your E30. The 95 also has a M42 which your probably aware of, so another E30 trait.

Because not EVERYONE has an E30 here. There are people with other cars. Einstein, a $6k M3 sounds like a roach in th emaking.

I went and picked up the 97 328is today. Its pretty nice, the exhaust is a little loud for my likings, though. Its a Magnaflow, so its gonna go.

I just need some different wheels, and a LTW spoiler, and Im set.

[318isbmw]

Glad to hear you got the 328. Should be a fun car, sad the e30's gone, but it sucks building them, adds up really quick.

[bimmer_E30]

Ugh, anything but an E32.

whats wrong with an E32???

[eric (^__^)]

I know the e32 735i is an awesome car!

[jflip2002]

Id never own a 7 of any generation. I couldnt even get myself to own a 5. I like to stick to my 3's. This one should be fun, just gotta get rid of the ricer wheels with the red lip around em.

[jflip2002]

Here are pics of it, though theyre not my pics.




I didnt pay $5500 either, got it for $4100.

What comes after e30? e30+1= e31

Seriously though i think a ti or an e34 would be my pick

[blunttech]

I had an e34 525i. had suspension, 5 sp. I liked it a lot, it was very luxurious. Still had that old BMW feeling to it for sure. Got a 97 328i 4 dr and now I'm pretty happy with it. A few creature comforts that definitely show it's age compared to an e34.

My big problem with the e34 is while it is luxurious, you can't really push it. If you don't have another car, owning only an e34 will leave you with a desire for something more nimble

this is very true. i could not live with an e34 alone
