[QUOTE="Juan Powerblow, post: 57361, member: 20"] To me and no offence to anyone, the E34 is beginning to look dated but then there are great examples like OSF's one which are very immaculate and solid. However, there's always added cost of maintenance with age and extended usage. I think it's easier to find an E36 318i which could be a second family car that's relatively used less and well taken care of. Cos it's relatively cheap to maintain an E36 318i, most of these are well maintained. I didn't find the E36 318i under-powered for daily usage. In fact, the solidity and "feel" it offered over my ex-EK4 Honda Civic made up for it. Then, there are those trips I made up to Genting where it was annoying to be persistently wiped out by those Nissan Sentras. Yet again, I took my ex-E36 318i past the double-O-O mark b4. There are many in this forum like DD who can well afford to upgrade to a 6-potter but yet he keeps enhancing his E36 318i all the time! Having been a proud owner b4, I can sense why. It's a very nimble yet solid and problem free car. Don't shoot me but the E34 can feel like a tank. [/QUOTE]
