I cannae hold her, Captain... (archive)

Well, if you must go for the warp drive, just remember to save up for the replacement dilithium crytals on those older models cuase the friendly Ferengi on the forecourt will want whole stacks of latinum for spares... but at least you don't have to be a test pilot for slipstream technology, eh?

Just remember the Prime Directive too (pilot weight adversely affects performance **grin**)

Well, it's finally time to retire my twenty year-old Chevrolet daily driver (my significant other drives the 735i on a regular basis). I have been looking at 93-94 five-speed 325i E36s but, with all the talk recently about the turbine-smooth 750iL, it is possible to pick up a 91-92 750iL for about the same cost, usually with less miles. I did drive a couple of 750iLs before buying the 735i four years ago but the potential maintenance costs scared me. I really want to drive a stick-shift again on a daily basis but the 750iL does have the 12-cylinder appeal.

So, what does the collective think? A 91-92 750iL or a 93-94 325i (or a close-ratio five-speed and a REALLY nice paint job for the '02)?

Regards
