Well no BMW...

I offered the guy $3K on Friday for it. Told him if they want it I can have it on Teusday.

Today I came into work and asked him about it. Said he sold it to another guy that works here for $2,800...

Im kinda disapointed- but I didnt really need the car... Just tired of this buick already...

lol. You'd just have to be there to get the full effect, it cracks me up every time I think about it. Ourselves having a really thick southern accent, the result sounded like "Yayuh, I thank Ah've got sum iyun tha Porsche", with Porsche being articulately pronounced and louder than the rest of the sentence. hehe.

"Get in the truck" was what I said most of at the time.

haha
part you left out:

girl: oh. a 924. I'd need a tylenol, too.

My friend used to have a 924, that's why it's funny to me.

Hot girl: "Do you have any Tylenol I can borrow? My head is killing me"

Him: "Yeah, I think I've got some in the Porsche".

Him to girl at gas station: "Hold on, my wallet's in the Porsche"

Hey, it worked. Only benefit of a 924.

"The 318ti to BMW is what the 924 was to Porsche."

that'd be.. "a joke."

inline 6s are good motors.. had a 2.8L in my 280Z. great car.

I offered up $3K for the car today...

He has to talk it over with the real owner... lol hes the uncle trying to sell it...

Anyways will know for sure by monday. If I get it I get it, if not oh well. $3K is my best offer.

Inline six > V6. You just don't see them because they won't fit in the average car with a horizontally opposed engine and FWD.

The 318ti to BMW is what the 924 was to Porsche.

Yeah, I knew it was 325 was a 6, just kinda figured it would be a V.

the one in my signature below. BMWBoard.com/hotbimmber.com - same forum. That's pretty much it. BMWChannel.com as well, but not a regular visitor there.

ALL 3 series use inline 6, with the exception of the 318 and M3. There is no V-6 fyi. but yes....I have a 325 and love it to death. Maintenance blows for prices though. It doesnt have a lot of balls, but enough thats for sure. 2.5l inline 6....2500lb car, 192hp...not bad. and thats the e36, the newer engines use magnesium, thus the engine wieghs something like 20% less....more power with the same displacement. its genius.

Don't do it. I rented a euro spec 318, and I was not at all impressed. It went to pass a guy one day, and it felt like the hamsters were about to have a heart attack.

Honestly the interior is ok, and the fuel milage was nice, but over all it wasn't anything like I would expect from BMW. The 318 is on of the lowest series they have, and IMO not worth the extra money you pay for the name. If I had to go with a 3 series I would step up to the 325. It comes with a V6 and alot better options. (I don't know what the equivlent for the year your looking at is)
