sold my yellow 106 gti 2 weeks ago and got a good price and i reckon the guy will look after it so im quite pleased. ive got about 9k to spend on a car but not really sure what one to get. im looking at 2000 plus models of 325 ci's as they're REALLY nice. but its a lot of cash to spend on a car for me.

when i think about it i could get a 5-6k car and have a wedge left over, but then what do i get for 5-6k??

you could get yourself a smart Audi A4.

Or maybe an S3 quattro.

If you wanted to go nutts, go for a porsche and save some money for the insurance, now that would be cool.

Or what about a VX220, Im not just saying it cos its a vauxhall but it's meant to be an amazing little car. If you could afford it (im not sure) a VX220 turbo. eek

Ive looked into A4 and the ones i seem to find are high milers or quite bland and plain looking conmpared to a 325.

S3's are super nice but again high milers and im not convinced i could get insured.

porsche yes smart but couldnt really afford one and the same for a vx220 (which is a gorgoues car!)

TBH you have said for a while you wanted the BMW so to me it looks like your going to be getting one, no matter what anyone says on here.

It's your money and your choice.

I personally dont like BMW's (except the 1 series for some reason) But they are good cars and it will do your proud.

If I had the money, I'd get a Lancia Delta for a couple of months. Why don't you try one of them for a bit?
