E30 Touring is the only E30 to have, but I voted S2. Why you need something big though?

Im not sure ive just always been keen on them, very nice looking for an estate car, even as standard. 325 sounds very nice aswell. Id have one if I had kids

Just because I'm bored of tinny little understeery shitboxes which I spend money on trying to make them handle.
This way, I'd have a car which was half decent and I wouldn't feel the need to change stuff so soon.
It's either one of these 3 or something massive and bargy

i know someone who had a e30 325 sport (or is as you put) in that lovely grey colour. was comfy, pretty quick, handled well and was a very controlable rwd car. i drove it in a large carpark and found the pedals abit awkward but you just get used to that.
if you can get a decent one then go for it, but my mates was a h reg which is over 15 years old now and it probably wouldnt keep up with an s14a. however he soon solved this problem by putting a 3.5l engine in from a 7 series.
i know nothing about the s2's but they scream out money pit to me.
e30 is probably the slowest but a good all round rwd car, if abit old and easy to work on. s14a will be alot newer and they seem to be bargains

The other option is to get something FWD and small, but I'm not sure I want to do that again

Close call between the 200sx and the 325, but the i'd take the 325 out of the two.
Something small and FWD? thought about a clio 1.8/2.0 16v williams or such like?
