getting another car

Post by socompsp »

its with a heavy heart i say i sold my 98 c70. my (now ex) girlfriend got wind of me spending $5k on building a motor and promptly made me sell it. now that we have split, im torn between a bmw 335is, and a 04-07 s60r. anyone have any thoughts? its not the cost im really concerned about, but how much fun i can have with each.

BMW.

RWD, a blast to drive, and lots of overhead for power gains. There are several off-the-shelf performance tunes, as well as lots of aftermarket support.

You'll need to ditch the stock cooling system though...it's complete junk for running that engine hard.
