I know, but I just know how much fun I have in beaters... can you fault me for trying to spread that joy around?

he's a huge BMW nut so convincing him of a 2003 or so 325 or 330 xi wouldnt be too difficult as i found a lot between 10-15K at the local bmw dealership and etc.

but what are my other options?

i live in NH so i get a lot of snow, so AWD is a must.

i was thinking somewhere along...

2003 or so subaru impreza wrx or a 2003 3 series of some type.

any suggestions let me know, im planning on putting my extra cash into some basic upgrades (intake, exaust, etc.) over the next few years so keep parts availability in mind.

thanks!

must be nice

Congrats on the new first car!!!

I wish I had listened to my parents when they said "get good grades". I mean...I have good grades...but their not perfect. lol

Hmm you ever think about getting an M3 someday?

fixed

Bimmer is the actual nickname for BMW's cars, while beamer is the nickname for their bikes.

Yeah as a senior now in college Id also reccomend not getting a nice car for the next few years.

Save up and get something hella nice when you get out.
The important things to remember now are good fuel economy and reliability

StangGT96 · May 26th, 2009, 10:36 PM

i beat around in a VW gti. and got the stang for the summer/sunny days. i'd recommend some similar combination. spend solid 10K on a stang (late 90's early 00's) and then a cheap beater.

2006GTARPD3 · May 27th, 2009, 05:41 PM

Interesting question for a Mustang forum.... I'd go with the Subaru any day of the week. Especially if you're going to do anything to it, European cars are expensive when it comes to aftermarket stuff.

I was also unaware of the fact that there were AWD bimmers.
