Sounds like most of us could go for a BMW fully loaded with rock music :p NoFear: rocco's are the coolest doorstops that VW ever made :D I love those. While Im saving for my BMW I am finishing a project from 3 years ago ( moved to the caribbean for 2 years and couldnt take the project with me) I have an 85 golf that I built a digi 2 16v swap for with CE2 electrical '92 bumpers and doors, single round badgeless grille w/ 7" crystal clears and a moderately built Jetta coupe 8v Digi with recaro interior and a lot of other goodies.

Well lets put all the cards on the table peecup, E36s we're the shit. Everyone wanted one when they we're new, and everyone still wants one now that they are affordable. Hell, I'd be ok with a 318is or ti, or even an E30 325is. I really think thats going to be next ride, no matter how long I have to drive my truck for. I have to get me a nice little BMW.

lawl! @ shoes.... F1000x. Im with you on settling with an E30 if I cant find a good E36. THe E30 325is in stock form has some serious cornering grip. Now my buddy has a 98' 328i on coilovers + 18" M3 wheels. The first time I rode in it he kept on the throttle way past where a sane person normally slows down for a 90 degree corner but in that car with him driving it wasnt a thing at all.
