The pictures maybe dont do it justice, as it doesnt look in really good condition, as I say maybe its the pictures. Im also not keen on the colour, there was one where I used to live in a really nice shade of white, that was absolutely stunning

Lots of different opinions then, as for the condition its got no rust, the pics where taken off a phone, and tom id prefer the dated look tbh, as it is the E36, admitadly i think my astra is a lovely looking car, and it does draw alot of attention but, the BMW is a completely different car.
More BHP
RWD 
and as im not driving a car hardly at all now, im looking for something for the weekend

Lovely cars mate; i've got the z3 version

Good strong powerful engines, except you get traction and a 6 speed box which i dont have

You drive a Rover...................That proves you know next to nothing about cars. M3 all the way, i don't think there is an M3 body shape i don't like.

an astra is a wrong wheel drive run of the mill plastic average car with one of the dullest chassis ever.
An m3 is driver focused, balanced, composed, refined, well built, solid, and fast out the box.
Its like comparing walking to cars.

bit harsh Jambo, but i know what you mean. The Astra certainly isnt utterly useless, it does what it does but the M3 is in a different league. Good change
