[QUOTE="bimmer73, post: 375390, member: 1666"] Armand E36 is a reliable car..thanks to my E36 525i 1994 with no airbags..Saved my life I was driving to kuantan and at 150kmh which is probably a guess on my end. i hit a pot hole on the highway with 18's ACS 3 rims and Koni Adjustables, the car hit the barrier in the middle of the highway and spun 3 times. from the wreckage i would think the the drive would be badly injured with broken ribs and internal injuries i was without a scratch.The Car total Lost. Made a claim and bought a 525i Msport to go faster heheheehe. Pics below The point is it is a very good car provided you find one with a good maintainence record and and preferebly already with some free bees etc... accesories ie..rims bodykits and some simple mods...The 318 4 cyilinders is a wise choice for your pocket but if you ever come across a E36 320i with 6 cyilinders inline please Grab it quickly as it's quite a rare model and a much smoother ride plus It will give you a slightly better mileage than the 318...and plus it will aslo give you more power to carry the chasis.. Good idea keeping the Nissan as a second car...But i will advise you to just stick to one car cause you will have to spend on 2 cars instead and once you sit behind A UDM you will not likly be driving the Nissan or any other Japs anymore and it will be collecting dust and rust. Driving a S40 for me once in a while is like Driving a Vios.. But thats just me... If IT is your dream car then just go out and get it considering that you have gotten all the advise to you might ever need here just to buy a car..The racun part you just need to play a deaf ear. Look at this this way forget not being able to go to the pubs, Thailand for women and the golf handicap. You main motivator to upkeep the RIDE will be the car itself. With a BMW park at your drive way I think you will be setting higher Goals then just how to maintain a BMW.. Just My 2 Cents. [/QUOTE]
