i am thinking of upgrading from my polo and i will probably have around £2000-2500 to spend

i have been looking mainly at e46 3 series (330,325) or something similar

needs to have at least 4 seats and a bigish boot

i would like either a fast car or a diesel i dont want anything in between really

what would you get?

There's a tidy Triumph Dolomite currently for sale somewhere, and also a Maserati 2.8 Bi-turbo V6 engine.

Just sayin.

E46? Gross. E30 or no BMW at all.

Seat Leon Cupra R!

Chipped Octavia VRS.

S13, 'nuff said.

fabia vrs you WILL find one within budget failing that you can get a tidy rx8 for your budget...

regards

cheers for all the replies, got a few things to look at now but it looks like i am going to keep my polo for a bit longer after checking the bank account

buy an mx5 and turbo it.

buy an early MX5 and put a 2.5 V6 in it.

Good shout

more comfort in a mk2 mike, although they are less popular. last meet I went to there was 24 of us there and four weren't mk1's.

E28 has so much more class than the E30

Volvo t5 with a remap, or even cheaper a t4.

Have you even tried an insurance quote on a 330ci at 20 years old

You're both wrong because E21

Can't argue with that mikey, tbh can't really fault any of the shark nose BM's

Cousin's currently doing a bare shell resto of a 2002 Tii, really looking forward to having a spin in that.

MMMM, early Beemer. I don't know about all those E-numbers, but I like Saf's one (E21?)

Ooof, 2002 Beemer <3

Should get one of these

That was only ever going to end badly

Oddly there seems to be a following for putting bike engines in robins, why! You know how it's gonna end. I did like the video youtube suggested after watching a few robin rollovers though, not sure why i find it so funny.
