well each to there own,if you own one and your happy good for ya,but this was a thread asking peoples opinions good or bad,we are all different and thank god as it be a boring place if we wernt lol

think its far to say that its a pretty equal the likes and dislikes,its just all to do with your own lifestyle and what you need and look for in a car

I just bought a 318ti dakar yellow compact. It is my first beemer i could have bought a new one but i have always loved the e36 shape. I sold a new focus RS to get it!

So far I love it my boyfriend and my dad both have coupes and mine is much faster maybe this is because of the chip etc?

I love the individual colour and i think i will be keeping her for a while....

ps. she handles loads better than the focus and hasent stopped since i bought her (unlike the focus stopped 5 times in a month!)

So i got a cheap car that i love and totally different to what i was looking for (jag XKR) and i have fallen in love

..maybe it's to do with it being lighter as well. No multilink rear suspension on the ti, you get the simpler E30 rear end instead.

Any pic's?

I've got to admit that I always thought the Compact was an ugly car. The boot just seems to be a tad too high and short, as it it has been cut off without any thought.

However, I'm getting used to it now, and it's quite a refined drive. I don;t think i would buy another one though, I only bought this one beause i got it for a bargain price.
