thinking of buying a bmw...
i currently own a '94 Cadillac STS, but my birthdays coming up and i'm thinking of buying myself a bmw as well.
i don't have much of a budget, probably around $3000 - $4000 (and i'm talking canadian dollars). i'm currently looking at some 318i's from around '92 - '94. the thing is though, i want to go into this knowing i'm making an educated decision, so i'd like to get some feedback first. how are these cars with handling, performance, durability, comfort?
what other models would you guys recommend that would meet my budget?
so anyways, opinions? thoughts? thanks!

A BMW for $4,000 is going to be a worn out car with lots of trouble.
Keep your current car and save your money.
Or try a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar http://auto.consumerguide.com/auto/u...x.cfm/id/2388/

your 4k will hardly make a ding for a new one, and can help for a used one,
BUT ITS USED.
If i were you, Id used that for a 06 Civic SI Sports

Then you get a car that might not look worn out but will be a lot of trouble. Think about that a minute....why is a 3 year old car selling for $4,000?

but yes, i can't wait to buy myself one of these babies  they sure look sexy with a nice set of rims on them... nothing that would sacrifice performance tho, i couldn't do that to a bimmer.
