Ok Vamp, we will put it to a UKRCM vote, those in favour of this, Vote 1
Obviously it's still your choice at the end of the day, but it will be interesting to see who prefers what.
Make that another vote for 2.
E36s are utter s**te. My brother's literally fell apart like a Fiat Regatta.
I agree on 2.
The first one is a total chavmobile.
John
Id say 2 too, but in black, silver went out with the Dome....
I require more info for an informed choice :)
Engines? Miles? FSH? Interior? Toys?
I'd vote 2 for myself. Once you get an estate you wonder how you ever lived without it.

In news: snipped-for-privacy@pipex.net, Ronny decided to enlighten our sheltered souls with a rant as follows
2, definately.Even though BMW's ain't my cup of tea, and the estates are pretty useless, it's still better looking than a coupé.
Based on the looks alone I'd say 2. The coupe looks a bit bland in comparison, but maybe that's tjust the colour and the alloys.
2 - but it makes you look more sensible.
Estates are great, I had 13 people and a bale of hay in mine once.

S**te! I've not been following all the pics - is vamp getting an /old shape/ coupe? Thought it was the more current one.
Chavtastic! I know he really wants rear wheel drive but that's going too far - looks old before he gets it. Might as well get a C class sports coupe, or an IS200, or something else entirely.
VAMP - don't do it, that's hideous.
two words - secure boot. I hate our Zafira for the fact that you can access the boot by breaking a window and cutting through the roll-out load cover or folding the seats.
3 how about spending the money on something with less stigma and reputation, like a Skoda.
Assuming all else to be equal, I'd go for two too.
You must have been seriously wasted to shag a bale of hay...
The thing is, most saloons either have the boot on the central locking, or have a lever in the main compartment. Totally gets rid of the main reason for having one, and sacrificing the practicality of haveing one large load area (whether it is an estate or a hatchback).
I have always wondered when so many people go for saloons. I belive they have more rigidity for the weight, is that it? Or is it just people think they look better?
Another vote for 2 (if I *had* to have one of them)
Tutu.
If I had to - too rich for my blood these days, now that I'm over all of that.
I prefer this one -
I've just noted, one is the old shape one (E36?) and two is the new shape. Clearly 2, by a mile, the old shape one looks dated and is ultra-chav.
Or this one - except its Green and i dunno about the Triptronic box - are they good or like the Alfa ones?
