Ok so for now the 240s are down for the count.. im in the middle of an engine swap and a rebuild and its too freakin hot to work on it... 117 heat index... and I am getting sick of driving the wifes mini van. So... I am looking for a secondary car.. a beater but not quite a beater of a car. I have two cars in mind... I want them to look nice so I can drive them to business meetings and stuff and look snazzy and still have the 240 as a crazy fun car for the weekends and stuff.. ok.. so my choices are..
(1) 94 BMW 325is.. its a 5 speed, v6 rwd car.. and its a beamer which are rare here in backwoods missouri.. and the guy only wants 4,000 for it.
and (2) a 99 Mazda Millenia S... automatic but supercharged .. very nice looking car.. great clean lines.. and he only wants 6,000 for it .. I am torn in two.
I am going to buy one of these cars on Sunday.. help me decide please!!

ps.. maybe pics would help...

and the millenia

 

I've never even herd of a millenia or w/e .... BMW is a great car, fast, realiable. STANDARD + RWD + BMW = FUN.
I'm behind the biimer all the way. Hell, if you wanted to you could prolly even put a nice M3 bumper kit on, it would look awesome! :-)

 

I don't disagree with you what so ever.. but I am afraid that I will love the bmw too much and forget about the 240! :P
And i am leaning towards the milly bc of 4 doors, luxurious, fits the look I want for business reason and the fact that I have a family and have to be somewhat responsible.. having four kids! haha

 

BMW

 

Beamer...has teh sex apeal...you wont forget about the 240...if you do, you dont love it enough and you can sell it to me

 

beamer!

 

well...i would go for the millenia...you already have a fast light rwd car...why get 2?...and you obviously have a family...the millenia would be a lot comfortable...and it does look more "profesional"...the BMW would look nice with new bumpers...skirts...and would be fun to drive with a new suspension set up and maybe a turbo...but then whats the point of having the 240?..and i thought the bimmer came with a inline 6....iono....lol

 

Since you're a car person, I would reccomend the BMW. The 3 series has been the benchmark for sport sedans since it's introduction in the late 70's. The bmw is more of a drivers car and in my opinion bmw has the best engineered cars in the world. My dad has a Z3 roadster and it's an incredible car, I can see no reason why the 325is would be any less amazing.

The millenium isnt a bad car, one of my friends has one. It's very luxurious and smooth, but i gurantee the BMW will dominate it in every performance aspect and be just as comfortable.

ayuaddict you're correct, it is an inline 6
