Lots of people don't like those bimmers. I have always loved them, My buddy just bought his dream also. a e30 M3,

With you, it depends

Ford: Dirt Cheap to maintain, Very pratical, BAD GAS MILAGE, Slow as ----!

Bimmer: Expensive to maintain, Great to drive, Better milage, a little prestige, Could be fast.

Depends on what you looking for out of a vehicle.

Keep the truck. 318's are BMW's for people that can't afford BMW's.

wtf are you talking about i could get a 740il for just a lil bit more i just like the styling of the 318is better in comparsion to the more elongated look of luxury with the upper models.

bmw's are known for their well performing 6 bangers, not four shooters. their 1.8 liters are slow as *****, i take that back, slower than ballz. if your looking into buying an e30, buy a 325i, or if you do have a crush on that 318 you posted in the link, offer him a grand, 2500 is a lot for a car with close to 200k, i dont care how good condition its in.

parts for bmw's aren'y cheap either, when your engine control ***** that bed, look into shoving out at least 1200 bucks for a new one, and another 100+ for the dealership to program it to your vehicle, and nevermind the cost of the diag to begin with :1

iv'e seen so many people abandon their precious bimmers when it comes to not being able to afford the repairs, when in reality these same people shouldn't be driving them anyways.

there is hardly a bwm that i would ever consider buying ever even if i had all the money in the world.

its pretty funny seeing the wannabe ballers in their cheap POS BMWs. they are slow gay and ugly. i had one of those older BMWs with the big engines whatever they are v10 or 12s try and race me and i blew a hole in a coupler and still beat him he thought he was so cool though trying to race me

I would ask them if you could take the $4000 and get something different. for $4000 you could build a nice car
