a used BMW wouldnt be too bad...i'd like to get into one...i think i owe my life to the designers of the car...heres what i did to a 93 325i...flipped it and rolled it through the woods when i was 18, so it was about 8-9 years old at that point...landed on the roof after tumbling thru the forest, unbuckled my seat belt, fell down onto the roof, and crawled out

so i'd say go with the BMW.

 

whats the hang up on RWD though? what about something like an s60? safe for the kids, decent luxury factor...my dads got an 04 (IIRC)...its a pretty nice car.

dayumn... I would venture to guess you had no passengers...otherwise i bet you wouldnt be saying that about the car....

 

But i agree with everyone too, look for a similar BMW. 4 doors, fun, and safety are definately what youll get

For the cars in the IS300/3-series/etc size range make sure they can fit car seats in the back. I don't know about those specific cars, but it was often a topic of discussion on the s4 board on audi world about which car seats could fit in the back. They were few and far between.

Yeah I'd say BMW.

 

Already selling the GTP? Pretty sure I saw it on craigslist. If you decide to keep it for a while I'll buy it from you in the spring

 

Sold it already. Sorry lol.

 

Yeah, I'll look for some bmw's, just not sure if you can find an e46 w/ out high miles for my range.

e46 in the 10k range usually have 70-100k

 

not sure what you consider high mileage, some people say 60k, some say 160k....but when i was looking for them, thats the mileage i was seeing mostly

Can't go wrong with a BMW as long as you don't mind the maintenance costs, but like someone else said, don't get hung up on the RWD. Have you driven a TSX? Not the fastest thing ever, but it's so well done, and priced right.

 

ETA: This should be required reading somewhere:
