Whatever's RWD, sporty (no Police Interceptors, thank you), and has a semblance of practicality... wait, doesn't that describe a ti? | | | | | 08-13-2006, 12:30 AM | #19 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Quad Cities, Iowa Posts: 2,110 |

If money wasn't a problem I would probably go for an austin martin db9, but I will stay with the ti if I can find another one when the time comes (hopefully never) to replace it. | | | | | 08-13-2006, 11:34 PM | #21 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: LA & Colo Spgs Posts: 210 |

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

When I was at the local BMW dealer to pick up a part, I asked one of the salesman when the 1 series will come to US. He told me they should go together with mercedes smart, so not earlier than spring-summer 2007 which is not bad. A year from now. I also asked him about diesel BMW (120d for example), but he was doubt that the diesel would ever reach the US coast. The price of 1 series would be about 25,000 which is almost the same as brand new ti years ago. So my next car would be 1 series, if not 120d diesel then may be 120i or 130i stick for sure... Check those cars. I believe nobody has seen any of them here in US http://tonyspchelp.com/206.jpg http://tonyspchelp.com/307.jpg http://tonyspchelp.com/407.jpg http://tonyspchelp.com/407coup.jpg http://tonyspchelp.com/607.jpg Tell me what do you think about them and which one fits to your style | | | | | 08-14-2006, 02:10 AM | #25 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Quad Cities, Iowa Posts: 2,110 |
Why would you want french crap? Their quality worse then americans. How many french cars do you see on the road today? Not many. Most have rusted out to the point that they cant be driven or they have broken down mechanically. The only french car I would ever consider driving is the renault clio. __________________

I think even a 118d M-Sport would be awesome. Acceleration is just slightly slower than a 318tiA, but 52 USmpg! The handling is probably better than any other stock BMW out there too.  | | | | | 08-14-2006, 02:17 AM | #27 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Weymouth, MA Posts: 215 |

The last french import in US I believe was in 1989-90. I have seen few 88-89 Peugeouts 405 around here, but they are very rare | | | | | 08-14-2006, 03:52 AM | #28 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Canada Posts: 182 |

e46 sport wagon
MZ3 coupe
Z4 coupe
and...wait for it...
a Chevy HHR, Black+black with satin trim and new wheels. Yes, laugh laugh laugh. I would too but i had a very positive rental experience with one a few weeks ago. Nice car for 20g's new but not sure how long it would last in the real world. Plus Chevys hold their value like used kleenex. __________________
