hey! Ayam also an accountant......but the 3.0 V8 is a useless engine :Originally posted by ALBundy@Apr 25 2005, 03:43 PM
Typical accountant talk.....try and put a value on the ""fun"" factor :nyehehe: . I think the best car/vehicle for you is the new Kia Carens now called Naza (?). Less than 80k and can seat 7 ppl!
M60B30 2977 218bhp@5,800rpm, 290Nm@4500rpm
It's only 26bhp and 45Nm more than the Vanos M50B25, compared to more than double the road tax!
If the rpm can be increased to 8,000.....that's a different story........

What to do, once an accountant, always an accountant. Come to think of it, a 520i 24V manual would have better fun factor than the Citra. Better prestige too.Originally posted by ALBundy@Apr 25 2005, 03:43 PM

My view is this...
E36 vs E34...that was my choice when I wanted to change. Family of 4 + maid.
E36 was kinda small for a 2.0L (was thinking since I am getting a Bimmer....nothing but 6 cylinder will do)....the car dimension over the E34 maybe little...but the interior space is hugh for the 5 series.
Not saying that 3 series cannot make the cut as a family car....just that the E34 makes a better choice as there is more space.
Given a choice....if fun factor and driveability is the only consideration (minus taxes...running cost etc) E34 2.5L has to be it. 2.0L on the E34 is IMHO....underpowered. 2.5L suits the body weight of the car. Petrol cost ain't gonna be much diff....I dun think it will be more than 1 tankful diff every month between the 2.0 & 2.5.

Anyway, for the next few days / weeks (hopefully not), I will be "sampling" some cars and then I will make my final decision. But then I still have to get rid of my Babe. Hi squeek, squeek... your cheese is here.

What to do... family needs dictates my need to change the car to something bigger. At the same time, if I can find a cheaper but good E34, it can help loosen up some moolahs for mods.... Mua ha ha ha ha ha.Originally posted by Daredevil@Apr 25 2005, 10:51 PM

buy your squeak?? no thanks. Mine's quieter... hahahah
The E34 is a good buy. There are a few baby seats that you can take a look that doesn't sacrifice space that much if you put it in the middle. Bassinets are even smaller.
I have a Fairland bassinet and a Graco baby seat in my E36 when I travel with my maid in the side seats. No problem.
