F18:I agree for the interior quality, the e36s look older in a significant way. I tried a 93 318is, loved the handling. I'm set on getting a rwd or awd car. I looked through forums... alot of hype over the ///M's, have you ever tried one?

F18:To make a long story short, my 97 corolla that my dad gave me after breaking the engine's head... (car was probably beaten before he bought it at 100 000kms). Got it fixed with a used engine that failed me friday night... dead. I'm on a $15K budget. Note that cars in Canada are about 4-6K more pricy than in the US... what do you suggest, I'm set on a 3series, 2000-2003 e46 sedan, I want a 6cyl manual trans. saw some nice 325xi... I know they are pricy as f. but I'm dreaming of the e46 m3, wich is out of question for now. But it could be a e36 m3... definatly not the best option for winter tought, but it could work. And it is one extraordinary car. Or I could get another engine for the corolla and plug it in... and wait before I get a new car...

I looked through forums... alot of hype over the ///M's, have you ever tried one? the M is worth the hype. imo e46 M3 is the second best incarnation, after the e30 M3. it is an amazing car. driving one feels like a fighter jet, especially with the paddles.e36 M, still a great car, but lacks the power & doesn't make up the difference in handling. the e46 should start depreciating faster now that the e9x M is here. but people are still asking way too much for them.if you can find it within budget, my vote is for 330xi for awd pwnage + great power

I want an e46 ///M very bad, 06 with the csl's engine... no paddle please, gimme a stick! and the fun that is driving with a clutch. this is my dream car, the dream that, if I do well in the next few years, will come true... real dream is a zonda.
330's are really tempting, there is a few ones with 120-140K kms... wich means I could drive it up to 220ish at LEAST...
Shralp, what's the mileale on your cars, tell me some about the maintenance, how much/ year average. thanks.
chevy camaro, nah...

CSL is SMG only. once again with the e9x i've heard they're not bringing it to the US. i guess it has such a cult following that it could still do great, but just for me, i would have a lot of trouble with the likely pricepoint on that model. i agree on the stick - paddles are a fun novelty, but have to have the true MT. plus the SMG can be super expensive to maintain/repair.

exactly, heard bad stories about the SMG, perfect launch is cool though.
the engine from the 06 is upgraded for every M3 vs 01-05. with the csl's engine, without having the csl tag because there isn't all the weight reduction kit, and available with a manual transmission.
Pig??? I disagree, even if I still prefer the older model.

Paulg:I just read an article in some car mag claiming that the new M3 is a "near-perfect sport sedan"
WiseEvilEmu:vehix.com works, i got an 05 rx8 for 15
an rx8 would be a terrible idea up north here... they hate the cold these very cool little revy rotative engines...
and I want some torque before 6000rpms, and more room.
