The difference between the Integra R and 318 is huge. The Integra will have much better performance, the BMW looks better imo. So what do you want, looks or performance? I'd recommend the Integra, but insurance might be a bit expensive. On a side note, Integra will probably be a lot more reliable.

its a matter of opinion,

go with what you want.

Eh..... Have you ever seen an e36 318IS???? One of the coolest 2door saloons available.

4 door BMW 318s are as you might say "old man", not the 2door ones.


I'd recommend donedeal.ie the best place & choice imho.

Also, use mywheels.ie to check the history of the car aswell. So you wont get any nasty surprises. I remember seeing a guy advertising a car as 2 careful owners & when I checked mywheels it said 8 previous owners :eek:

How realiable is mywheels.ie I'm looking at a car advertised as 2 owners but mywheels is saying 4. However a car that I traded in once is showing a 1 owner when really it had 3 so I know they're wrong with that.

Huh, didn't know that, I thought it was reliable enough...

Try gumtree.ie and the buy and sell, donedeal.ie, bendunne.com etc, the more of a market you create for yourself the bigger the possibility of catching a great deal

Its terribly unreliable especially when it comes to number of owners.

Its mine!

the gearbox has just been sorted and timing belt going in whenever it comes, €4500 for it is a bargain
