I have much love and respect for the classics, but sorry, the bug eye is hideous, they may look 'okay' from the back but it's rare you'll ever see that unless your parked up

was going to go for the Evo, but not too sure now after hearing about fragile gearboxes and vanos issues... so ideally I'll get an E36 M3 GT... only trouble is the colour, not sure if I like it

Tripple'O G, it's not really about spanking other cars, it's just a fun RWD car, iconic and from a time when BMW's prided themselves on reliablility... okay, the Evo is a bit weak in areas, but the 3.0 is a good daily drive... plus, I doubt it would stay standard for long bit of headwork, some cams and a remap should see some good gains as they are throttle bodied as std... love bodies ... on the move they are very quick even as standard. my other choice would be a Scooby STi RA, but it's finding a good one...
