Angry What car would you buy next?

Recently many members are selling their 318ti or losing them for whatever reasons. The question is what do you plan to buy next to replace the bimmer? Would you buy another bimmer? A new or used car of different brand? Let's hear your thoughts and plans.

My thoughts exactly, though I'll have to wait a few years... so how hard is it to import cars from Mexico?

On a related front...there is word that the 1-series coupe is finally going to be released later this year. In addition to the full range of other 1-series engines, they may eventually put the S54 engine in it and call it the M2...now THAT would be a hot setup!!!

That was rumored a couple years ago.

I guess I need to replace my FIRST 1 license plate for FIRST 2.
Then again, An M2 will be ridiculously priced.

You pay for the badge. Hopefully theyll make a 1 series avalible that would be close to that kind of performance with out the M pricing.

130 or turbodiesel FTW! Saw one at BMW of Toyko and I'm sold. I actually have a Japanese 1 Series brochure but I can't read a damn thing in it. Pics are good though. Just sold my e36 M3 Vert - check new avatar for last ride data. The 1 series is much more practical for me and the family.

Please BMW, don't screw this one up and bring it over here quickly.

I'm also waiting to see what happens with the 1 Seires. I really like the A3, but the Quattro is just a little too pricey and I don't like FWD. An R32 would be cool or maybe an STI. Of course I would certainly make the sacrifice and drive an E46 M3 if I had too

I have to agree with Les with the VW GTI I love the new ones, if not I would actually probably get a new BMW, depends on what I can afford but I am driving the ti till it dies, I want to keep my baby, I dont want anyone else to have it.
