bmw cost a fortune when they go wrong.
i'de never own one..like all german cars they are over engineered...ok when in the warranty period but a nightmare out of warranty.i've seen too many people get hit with huge repair bills. |

I've got like a 25k budget so it's not likely I'll be able to upgrade to a 1le or zl1 and I'm pretty good with cars so the maintenance for the bmw wouldn't be a problem

buddy of mine has a 335i and he let me drive it. I would take my 1le over that any day. You cant beat the sound and low end torque of the ls3. Dont get me wrong its a nice car and handles well but I think the 1le handles better but thats just my opinion.

Leaning towards the m3, I'm just really tired of how heavy the Camaro is

Love the E36 but way underpowered and super expensive to maintain/repair. If you want something "lighter" feeling and better handling you could look at a base c6 in your price range. Unless you need a back seat

if youre trying to stay 6cyl then e46 but if youre going v8 then the SS or an e92 M3 should be the choices for you.
EDIT: didnt see your budget I would highly recommend that you get a 335i bolt ons and tune its a straight high 11s car ( brother have one) . its 500+lbs lighter than the ss too. and also TURBAHHH!!!!!! lol

Corvette. If you don't need a back seat, why have one?
