Earl Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Also, that vert has a LSD perfect for winter.. BMW's aren't maintenance free. But I did not HAVE to replace anything besides oil changes. The rest I did voluntarily=) Also, ladies like any car that is shiny or looks nice. They don't know a Daewoo from a Buggati usually. And LSD is a common e36 winter package bonus=P It'd work well with snows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowleym Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 And another thing about that vert, I feel like any car that has 185k on it and still looks damn good, has definitely gotten taken care of. Definitely never buying a modded car again haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 LSD is a common e36 winter package bonus=P It'd work well with snows. Mine had the LSD and handles great in the winter on all seasons, so you should have no problems with a set of blizzaks on there. My e36 was great on maintenance, just highmileage stuff went out like the fuel pump, starter and power steering pump this last week. Thats its for 2 years of ownership and I bought a shit box too So that says something. Otherwise like Earl said get a camry or civic.

Brian. Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 You want someone to talk you out of an Audi A4? PM Piku, she'll set you straight, in a mo'fuckin' heart beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowleym Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 See that's the thing. The two guys that got me into tuning both have had audi's forever. They both currently have a4's. one with 160k(b5) on it, and one with 100k(b6) on it. They both love them to death and they haven't given them troubles except coils. They just keep a couple extra on hand. They are like 30$ a pop or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Talk to Piku, Audi's are just as reliable as VW's. Not very. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowleym Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 God dammit people I need a better excuse to leave my vw for a BMW. The only thing I have so far is ease of maintenance in comparison to my vw fwd car, and reliability. Cost of parts are probably the same, and my mom says rwd cars are dangerous for me(I got a ticket drifting in a Acura mdx...) so That's why awd is easy to sell for her! Too bad bmw's awd system is expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) ^not really. get an E30 IX.. like $4K for one. Edited February 7, 2013 by Brian 1800th post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad bmw's awd system is expensive. Volkswagen/Audis are a pain to work on in comparison to BMW's. They also seem to be more expensive for some reason. By far more expensive than e36's. RWD cars are dangerous if you're a redline running, drift king of the cul-de-sac. I don't believe you are so you shopuld be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend Wayyy to much time sideways during the winter. Precisely why my mother thinks its a bad idea. I consider myself a pretty decent driver, and ive known how to handle rwd cars for ages. Every car needs maintenance, but not all cars are easy to do that maintenance. That's why I think the BMW comes out on top. Rwd cars are just easy to work on.

Ryan... Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 My advice: walk away from any Audi that has over 15 miles on it. Not 15k, 15.0 miles. Anything after that and they're junk. Fo. Realz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 M42's are great until the timing profile gasket goes.Then coolant is everywhere and your head is toast!Jb weld and a new gasket is the known solution.

Rowleym Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 That might be a decent winter car... But doesn't the transfer case or something go bad on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 That might be a decent winter car... But doesn't the transfer case or something go bad on them? It could. The main thing is just that they're just expensive to replace. And I do have a mk3....and I absolutely hate it. They're garbage. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Nando over on R3V has mentioned that his transfer case has survived years of hard launches and abuse in his 325ix, his engine is also quite mod and making a lot more power than stock.
