He want a 'fun' car; not a work horse (Kelisa pulak) I do reckon that E30 is a damn nice car, small, nippy, RWD BMW. Just imagine that, there's almost no other small, zippy, raw BMW.... except the new Z4 M Coupe ..... Alfa Romeo 146 on the other hand, had many versions, heard that the Boxer engine ones had loads of problems, but i cannot stand firm on that coz i did also "~heard~" that contis costs a bomb to maintain and the fact that they aren't THAT hard is actually true. For the year of made, its a real bargain. Maintenance? Hell, 146s are not so hi-tech compared to other contis. I had a staff driving one, hell of a work horse, yupe a side mirror costs RM300 .... so does an Accord's. I for one, think that perhaps if you could find a Alfa Romeo 145, you'd get both the balance of a cheap and fun to drive conti, and something that'll never ever look out of place in front of a Palace of Golden Horse's Jockey. (Try that with a 1994 Honda Legend and you'll know what i'm trying to comprehend); However, it's very hard to get one coz 145 had some cult status, and for everyone that was let go, it'll get picked up at once, market price is also alot stronger than 146.
