Hello, I had been looking for a car for some time and I gave a 190E a try. Once I find one in black in reasonable condition, I will install some sport suspension on because I feel this is what the car is lacking.

It's true, you need a daily driver that can take a corner but still get you there in comfort.

I foundone with 85,000km's on it, and I would have purchased it had it not been in a Japanese junkyard for the past 10 years. The search rages on for the perfect w201.

Re: New

I go to seek the new 325i and they offer me LEATHERETTE. I open the hood and all I see is black boxes. I don't care if I can afford an M5, I will now always go with the german classic cars.

I drive because I love the freedom the engineering allows.

Yea, nothing like fixing a problem on your own car..and you need all that room in the engine bay to do it. I swear these new cars are DIY proof.

I like to be able to fix the simple things, or atleast be aware of what is wrong before the stealership tries to tell me otherwise.

Re: New

The story gets better. I talked my friend out of the idea of getting winter tires for his M3, instead he gets a W201 when the first snow fall comes.

Actually getting the tires and owning the BMW in the first place is a no brainer, as people who buy those car have no brains. I make this joke, he and I enjoy the experiences in our cars despite BMW or Mercedes.

I am looking forward to my 190E Winter!
