Not on e30s, often it doubles its value

And so many TDI cup-edition cars get brought back to VW with their thunderbunny kits :( they’ll get even more expensive now

I don’t know for you, but around here, almost 50% of the 128i have the Sport pack. Like 0,05% have the m-pack though. It’s just visuals. Sport and M-pack get the same suspension I believe. I do really prefer the m-pack aero looks, with the 135i bumpers and the leather steering wheel and all that. Stock 128i bumper is

Same here! Esp the beige interior

I DD a ‘09 and it’s been great. Once a few bits are changed, it gets even better (new manifold) with a smooth powerband and great sound. Plus, I prefer the look of the halogens compared to the ones in the GTI.

It’s a great car, mine has a few rattles though!

Haha I’m sure! Even in my regular 5cyl golf, I’m still redlining it but it goes quickly to 60mph, the BMW will just get there faster! :D

Yup all inline 6 (N51 or N52) vs the 135 which is also an inline 6 but twin turbo (later changed to twinscroll single turbo I believe), but they had trouble with the turbo shafts

Nop, single w/a cat. Butt warmers are nice too :D

Nah I never exceed 125km/h, it’s mostly the steering wheel, bumpers and the headliner ( i know it isn’t much but it’d be a really nice plus and easier to resell later down the road)

Yeah same with just the m-sport pkg. Every other ad says it’s M, but none seems to really have it, they just have the standard sport package. I’m waiting until fall anyway as selling my current car during winter is quite a pain in the rear so I’m in no hurry and prices can only go lower.

I might have to settle down

Good to hear! How’s the comfort with the Sports seats? my commute is mostly highway but I have a bad back. Tired of my GTI seats.

I fell in love with the terra interior, either with the white, blue or grey exterior, it’s just splendid!

Good to hear! Yeah it ticks every one of my box for my next DD. Plus, it’s only like 4 inches longer than the older 3 series. EDIT : wheelbase.

I think it’s hard to beat that whole package for 10-15k.

I know people will suggest the 135i instead but I can’t afford the insurance on those and the earlier ones that’d fit my budget had the troublesome turbos, apparently.

How about the e82 128i? It’s smaller than the 3 series but looking at my local ads, they seem to have dropped quite a lot in recent months and one can get a nice ‘09 or ‘10 128i m-package for about 12-15k$ 230hp and a nice size.

Bombardier tried it with military jeeps, didn’t see production though

Oui effectivement, je la prend jamais la cote gilmour même en été haha.

Ici dans St-Roch, c’est surtout la côte Salaberry qui est l’enfer

Quebec city here, we have steep roads to reach the Haute-Ville where everybody crashes during the first snowfall. Heck, they’re dangerous even in summer when it’s wet.

wat

We don’t have Prime video in Canada. That means we need to have a US account with Prime. Amazon US won’t ship most items to Canada.

We’re kinda stuck. I just used my trial, since the Canadian prime video starts only in December

Hey David, Great work.

Make sure to watch between the water jacket and the cyl 2 and 3, they often crack here. Also over the distributor between the freeze plugs.

I think I still have an alternator if you happen to want to swap it to 12V.

If I were you, I’d drop a Supersonic head on that thing :)
