hi, was thinking of either getting a second hand E46 328i year 99/00 (M52 double vanos) or an Volvo S60 (2.0T) year 01/02. Need some advise from bimmers especially E46 owners to give some advise on following.1. Maintenance cost - E46 328i or S60 lower cost?2. FC - which one has less FC for city and highway (50/50) normal speed driving?3. Reliable - which car has better reliability or less problematic?4. Safety feature - S60 better? 5. Handling and driving feel - E46 better?:rolleyes:Thanks for much..
 
i would choose the 328i just for the brand alone, without even considering the pleasure of driving an E46. with regards to the S60, there's just simply too many reasons for not buying a used volvo, not to mention front wheel drive is no fun :p

then again, this is an apple forum; doubt you'll get much support for sour oranges :)
 
thanks mizhan.

yes, understand this is bimmer forum. will ask the same input from volvo owner as well, let hear what they say also...

:)
 
328 vs S60? Most of us would not even consider that a choice :)

Seriously, if you want to make it a real decision, then consider the S60 T5. Trumps the 328 in terms of power. But handling, well all those horses coming out of the front wheels so you decide....
 
My vote is for E39 530... About the same price as a good E46 but ride, comfort etcs are a lot better

thanks, already got E39 at my car porch. I'm now looking for 2nd car budget around 60K+, so e46 328 or S60 will be in my selection list..
