Anyone have any experience with the Saab 9-3 or 9-5 wagons?

Have you considered a Miata?

Used BMW lol.

tell us all about those bmws you owned.

tell us all about those bmws you owned.

$20K buys a brand new Fit, Elantra GT, Mazda3 Sport, Matrix, etc.

Used BMW lol.

i am not scared of a used BMW because i am not a wallet mechanic lol
Don't want a stupid CUV either

Tell us about all the new cars you owned.

Mini was close enough thanks. I wouldnt buy a new BMW nevermind used.

Small SUV, CRV, RAV4, Tucson, etc.

anyways, about the 335d...

I don't see too many of them at work, they usually just come in for regular service. Only one needed to intake manifold cleaned out because of the gunk left behind, and one had a recall on the urea tank.

Well there's not many 335d's to begin with lol. ZC have a look around on e90post in the diesel forum and you can get a feel of all the potential CBU issues it can/will suffer from. Only way to try and cut down the CBU was blocking the DPF or some shit. Don't remember anymore since I haven't kept up for obvious reasons. Looks like JR performance can do ECU tunes now and can rip out the DPF along with the stupid UREA...that should remedy the CBU issues.

My buddy is making full exhausts, DPF deletes and REAL tunes (ie no tuning boxes) for these cars now I wish I had the $$$ for one.

What did you get on the highway for mileage?

When my daughter was in the Britax Marathon (pretty bulky car seat IMO compared to other models I've seen); w/ rear-facing, in the last gen X3 -- we had to move the front seat up to a point where it's only usable for anyone no more than 5'2" (wifey is 5' even ) and the seat back was almost up-right (barely comfortable) -- front seat passenger is expected to bang their knee when getting out of the vehicle.

Car seat in forward facing mode was a bit better (can recline a bit more and move the seat back a bit more) - but the kid can still kick the front seat back (though she was good and not very kicky); thank god the seat backs are hard plastic and can, so it's easier to wipe and doesn't stain.

I'd imagine an e90/1 to be either equal or worse than that.

The e60 has a lot more leg room. We've put the same car seat (in forward facing mode only) and the front passenger seat can be moved back a bit more. Soon, we'll find out what it's like to put the seat in rear facing mode again since my son should be able to get into that soon (I hate carrying that tub in/out of the car!!!).

Not sure if the 335d has the same problems, but my 535i seems to only throw a CEL on in cold weather (bought mine last year in October @ 117k; threw a CEL in Nov.; complains of misfire and changed plugs; threw a CEL again in Mar.; changed all 6 injectors, replaced fuel sending unit [housing was cracked / had a small gas puddle on the driveway and smell of gas] and plugs again; but all covered under CPO)

So now pretty much everything is new minus the turbos (previous owner had HPFP replaced under warranty as well) - lol. This should last me a few more years. :P Though was told that the high-pressure injectors are pretty much only good for 80k and don't last as long as the injectors that are used on the NA motors.

Now CEL is on a 3rd time just last week @134k; haven't brought it in yet, but it's still running strong.

Maybe a NA motor w/ the 530 is more reliable?

If you do find a 5-series; find one with a rear heated seat. Wifey will thank you when she's sitting w/ the kid in the back.

How about a z4?

How about a z4?

My wife wants/needs a bigger car, the Sx4 just doesn't have the room. My daughter can kick her while she drives lol (not the main reason lol)

...

Elmie cna you get a kids seat directly behind the front seats and still have the front seats usable?

Considering...




That would make a great family hauler!

OP is trolling everyone

You know he will end up with a RHD Nissan Versa convertible or something.

Speaking of boxy SUV's I'd rock the living shit out of a first gen SRT8 GC, I still reminisce when I got pumped by one the DVP...in the M3

3rd roll mdx Is a joke. Damn fanboi. There are other mâles aside from honda/acura ya know mang?

I'd roll in a gwagon erryday

+juan. guy in my area (lol typical dudebride car) black and slammed with an exhaust. hngggggg

Ya they are really nice, I wanted to make mine look like an srt8 but parts are expensive
And a real srt8 sucks back the fuel

lol @ chester molester van

lol @ chester molester van

Did you not read my post where I said the 3 series was a dumb idea lol
For the record though it has more space than an sx4. Stupid sx4 has 9cubic ft of trunk space

i almost bought one, but the gas mileage scared me off haha, should have just done it.

it has backseats #goodenough

pm'd you back

i'll do what i can to get the parts

I posted the for sale ad on kijiji for you. Sold here in 2 months

did you just buy an rs2....?

thats pretty much it

I dont think they came in RHD?

Like how Porsche had to put 911 mirrors on it and 964? Wheels

its no turbo corrado

http://rennlist.com/forums/rennlist-cana...ml#post11834464

You ricer!!!

Just looked around to see how much RS2's go for... damn baller!!!

I don't need a number, but is the RS2 costing more than the purrari?

RS2 is awesome sauce!
Congrats.

What colour is yours from JDM land?

pretty awesome! Grey market import overnight from Japan?

I love Corrados, but I can't even imagine how unreliable that car is

I really want a ride in this thing, RS2 is a dream car of mine that I'll never EVER own

Sure! I don't think anyone here even saw the Lancia, and only c2k has seen the ferrari

only me? No way, Im sure eddie, and the dude w/ NSX saw your car.

btw - my son still raves about your Ferrari. he's so lucky he got a ride in yours.

http://www.carscoops.com/2014/07/audi-rs2-avant-ad-from-canada-says-it.html

Drooool!

The 2.2 5cyl in the RS2 is one of the most glorious sounding engines ever made.

tell us how much youve heard it IRL ...

tell us how much youve heard it IRL ...

oh man, i would LOVE a ride in a Group B rally car, i dont even care which one!!

Where's this one coming from?

Where's this one coming from?

I'm broken. This does nothing for me.

Was the car the same price range as the $20k 335D you were looking at OP or was this a cheaper option?

parts are not so bad, spd-dmn hooked me up with a small part already

i may end up selling the Ferrari and keeping this. The only down side to the ferrari is the one extra seat. So i can barley use it
It would be damn hard to sell though, it's my favorite car so far lol

ill take it for a rip around shannonville. youre welcome

^ I give OP 6 weeks for the benefit of the doubt.
Then the search begin for a V12 engine car

11k on the clock




PS Rob I got your part, let me know when you want to meet up

fapfapfap

My wife wants/needs a bigger car

Diesel. Diesel. Diesel.

Na diesel pumps always stink, she would be unhappy, plus the BMWs on the highway are very high 20s almost 30mpg

I never have an issue with getting diesel all over myself when I fill the wagon.

^bingo. girl at work had a jetta TDI and complains how gross the pump is all the time.

Counter-argument: you aren't a woman.

low miles, clean...gotta pay to play

I could see it for around 10-14k, but 20k? He's dreaming.

I've been missing some vtec in my life

Fuuuuuuu an s2k and ITR will be the end of me. I wish I could just have those two. Hell I'd be ok with just an ITR. Not sure if I am in love with the idea more so than the car. If it was rwd id have one already.
