What would you have if the 3er wasn't around..

E902717 · 02-26-2009, 01:05 AM

As above,

it has to be in the same class so you cant say a bloody veyron!

Think for me it would be the new Merc C-class in black.

the world would be a crap place without the 3 series

- imagine not having the DXB!!

VW Eos. I know it's not same class, but it's a good car.

If Saab didn't drop their prices faster than a tart's knickers, a 9-3 Aero. Or a Disco 3. Cayman also in the running.

3 Series is a good car I've had a few of them!

As for me, say £25K budget seen as I don't have a 3 Series it would have to be Caterham 7 plus a 944 turbo / keep my car and change

or Caterham 7 and a 911 3.2 Carrera.

Not a bad shout

Porscha! · 02-26-2009, 02:02 AM

You knew you could trust me not to come up with anything boring!!

Reconsidered your C Class??

As for colours got to be green with yellow stripe for the Caterham, '44 turbo white, my car silver / blue as is it but may treat it to a respray and the 911 guards red!

E902717 · 02-26-2009, 02:06 AM

Ok i will go a bit retro a lambo countach

My Dad had a 25th anniversary edition when i was younger it was a beautiful car and fast! I remember him telling me how bad it was to drive!

Porscha! · 02-26-2009, 02:14 AM

Oooooo lucky dad! You wouldn't get one for 3 Series money though

nor would you run one either!!!

If we're getting into those realms - only a 911 2.7RS will do for me, thankyou

but theres me happy with my Ikea car (Caterham) and you come along and up the game ten fold

!!

Retro rules, end of

E902717 · 02-26-2009, 02:26 AM

I know he only drove it 3 times! Was a beautiful car though bright red!

As they are on the steep side maybe an old Porsche or actually i think the best would be a 1967 shelby GT500 mustang

You need to sort that out!!

E902717 · 02-26-2009, 02:50 AM

Seriously i think i would buy this in a heart beat!

the only problem is LHD

Geoffo · 02-26-2009, 03:04 AM

Driving a LHD in the UK Isn't that difficult..
I come over to the UK quite regularly in my Dodge,and that's LHD.

True, the MPG would take a hit though compared to the D

it would feel like i had a leak!

very true..not quite your local shopping car..

booforty · 02-26-2009, 03:51 AM

Audi S5 probably

ZuerstBMW · 02-26-2009, 04:07 AM

Audi A4

RCUK · 02-26-2009, 04:33 AM

Range Rover Sport TDV8 - if i cant be going quick then i might as well ride in comfort.

With a bit of luck we shall be swapping the wifes C class for one next year. She tagged along to a Range Rover experience day (against her will) with me cos my mate couldnt make it. She proceeded to grumpily drive it and then proclaimed in the way home 'okay if you want to get one i think we should'.

Reversing a car of that size and weight backwards up a 45 degree incline really shows u how capable the thing is.

trixman · 02-26-2009, 04:54 AM

I'd probably do the same, RRS TDV8 for the comfy cruise and a caterham/ariel atom to have fun in.

I'd like a 997S, but would want more power and couldn't get into any of the GT's or Turbo's.

AlanQS · 02-26-2009, 05:46 AM

Jaguar XF 3.0D S luxury premium - dearer than my current car but not expensive over the average price range of the E92 - has all the toys, some style, not slow, not too thirsty - and comfortable!

MOB · 02-26-2009, 06:34 AM

Cayman S or MB CLS55 AMG - bought the former, very nearly bought the latter

Must admit though that in 2 years time a Jag XFR will be very tempting
