New Car Ideas?

I like the look of some of them, just they are quite large in size?

We want something around the size of our current IS200, because having a GS300 it was just too big.

I totally misread your post and thought you wanted something bigger than the IS200. I'm sorry. Yes, the E39 is a bigger car.

Although interestingly it is no larger than a Mk3 Ford Mondeo.

In which case, the 3 Series is the car to consider.
 
Yeah, we thought of maybe an M3 if we can fit it into budget..

We just want a decent car, looks nice, fairly new and has some grunt behind it..

More than 154bhp, or what ever the IS200 has =)

330i is clearly what is needed :).

Mercedes-Benz C32 AMG worth considering as a less common alternative.

Problem is, like most rare things, its rare for a reason.

Hint: The reason isnt that it was a great M3 alternative.

Oh yes I forgot anything other than something with a BMW badge on it is likely to fall apart as soon as sat in. :rolleyes:

I'd rather drive something slightly more rare which does not have quite as good driving dynamics than have something you see everywhere. At the end of the day its still a very good car. Guess its all opinion though, I know which I'd choose in an instant.

There is a C Class on every street corner.

You do? How really rather daft, I'd have to test drive both first. But then I don't buy cars based purely on image and looks.
 
I went to the London Motor show on the 25th and 26th and seen the calibre. Looks a nice vehicle on the outside but the interior is awful and the choice of engines is a bit limited. For a US vehicle for the uk they could atleast be similar to the Viper, RAM etc and maybe put a V8 or a V6 in it.

wow, after your other sarcastic post about anything other than a BMW falling apart, i would have thought you wouldnt be the sort to generalise etc etc...

not sure why as a family car an e39 is too big? they arent that much bigger than a e46 tbh.
 
According to parkers, though not sure how accurate it is, an E60 5series is 1846mm wide, and a 3 series is 1817mm wide, a whopping 2.9cm difference :) (though no idea if mirrors are included in that)
 
In a Jag mood for some reason today, S-Type 3.0 V6? X-Type 3.0 V6?

Chrysler? Why'd you want to go and do that ? :p
