Ok people I want to get a fast car with a budget limit of 4,000 I don’t care about insurance as my dad has a company and I insure through him...

The most nippiest car i have ever owned was one of my first a citreon saxo vts after that i bought lazy saloons so has to feel faster than the french tin box

I was thinking of BMW 330ci sport 02 to 04 plate...

Audi A4 Sline 04 plate or the Audi Quattro...

Strangely I like the Toyota Celica 04 T-Sport are they any fast BHP...

Any others you recommend
 
Well the fastest car point to point you can buy for 4k I imagine is probably an old Impreza, fastest it a straight line ...probably an old XJR. Not sure I would suggest you buy either though really, you aren't going to get a 330CI worth buying for 4k though ...at least not unless prices have changed a great deal from when I last looked.

I don't know what to suggest really, 4K isn't a lot to play with if you want a fast car that actually works properly and is nice to own.
 
330ci - you might struggle a bit, change to a 330i and there'll be plenty of decent motors

A4 S line - S line means nothing (for performance, it's just a trim level), you want an S or RS4, at £4k I wouldn't

Celica - the 190 is a decent enough car but it needs an aboslute kicking to go anywhere and it isn't a fast car by any means. If you look at the previous gen GT4 then you're into fast car territory, £4k is enough for a good one too.

There are far, far too many cars about with a bit of poke to tell you what to buy - you'll need to get a proper list together, if you want something genuinely quick (6-6.5 seconds quick) you'll be looking at mid to late 90's jap stuff, if you're looking for a bigger more comfortable car then the likes of the mondeo St are ideal.
 
my dad own a fleet of transporter’s and coaches he has a family friend who runs garage so repair for anything I can get dirt cheap I don’t want to spend anything over 4k at moment...
 
RX8 231 - not just quick, good handling too :)

There are quite a few with issues... but get a good one and you'll be set for a while :)

I also happen to be selling mine, if you fancy a known-good one & you'll have quite a bit of change from £4k :)

From you grammar skills I'm guessing you are young, so you're probably not going to be able to handle anything with crazy amounts of bhp.

I would recommend a hot hatch, along the lines of Civic Type R EP3 or a Clio Sport.

I heard they drink more than a thirsty camel which I don’t really mind plus heard rumours they don’t start in cold
