IMO doesn't really make much sense talking about  Cozzies since there's not many around locally, and even less for sale.  Seen a nice 2.3 16v around my neighborhood before though.  Since you have a nice E30 already though, it'd be a good complement for more sedate driving, just be sure to wear uncle button shirt, uncle black rim glasses, and hair grease or it just won't look right for a young guy <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
