Hi all, im currently in the market for another car, first car was stolen last year and i still havn't replaced it LOL :angry:

i had an r32 gts-t and i loved it, started to get a bit bored with the power, but overall i really enjoyed it.

So now i really need a car, its been too long and my girlfriend hates being my taxi driver lol.

my options are either one of:

r32 gts-t with an rb25 aim for mid 250kw with supporting mods,

r34 gtt - pretty standard, might try for up to 200kw down the track with some boost/remap,

r32 gtr - pretty standard, might try for 220kw down the track with a bit of boost/remap.

im sort of leaning towards the first option, but get an r32 and do the convo myself

but every time i think about what i want i really dont know.... i want them alll hahha

so what are your opinions/ experiences with either of them??

I think you should go for the 34, coz the chassis is newer and its got an rb25 anyway. But if you really do like the 32 shape, just go for the gtr, they come with heaps of power in stock form, so probably wouldnt hav to do much to get 220kw at the treads. But yeh, jus my opinion, I love the 32 shape, had my heart set on one but settled on an r33 coz they're not as old.

good luck deciding

cheers

I don't know, I love the rear wheel drive platform, and i've never really thought about a gtr or driven one because i used to think they were out of my league lol.

I like the r34 because its newness (airbags, abs, traction control - good for the wet) and its looks, but i've always had a soft spot for the 32 and i miss mine.

haha so confused.

Id Be Going A Gtr, Do YourSelf A Favour And Take One For A Drive That'll Help You Make Your Mind Up :whistling:

Why The f**k Are You Talking Like That? Its f**king Annoying.

i've been in a couple, never driven one though.

Lol i don't see anything wrong with what he said??

anyway thanks to all who replied, btw another rb20 would be fun, i just want something different

i think i have decided

an R34 gtt would be cool, its newest, its got looks, comfort, power.. but hard to find a low kms one within my budget

an R32 GTR would be my pick, a nice metallic black one, looks, power, potential, class, would be a whole new experience to me, but finding a later model in good condition, if thats even possible = out of my budget

an R32 rb25 its got looks, power, and i am familia with the 32 = within budget

so i know down the track i will want a gtr but we'll see what happens.

opinions?

      My BMW 335i

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.

      Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
