I had a 318i and yes its true if anything breaks on it.. you better cut off your legs becasue you will be selling them... when my transmission went the mechanic didnt want to tell me how much it would cost to get it reconditioned.. i still dont know how much it woudl of cost lol.. but im gussing it would be more than what the car was worth...

bmw is now off the books going for a statesman vs era

I just picked a random generic 1993 E36 318 and some random parts, AC Comp $1590.55 Remaufactured by BMW and windscreen $511.90 and front shock absorbers $446.46 each side

Theres $2995.37 in parts alone just for an AC compressor 2 shockies and a windscreen, although granted these are all new genuine parts. Still gives you an idea.

Restoring/doing up an S-Class. Haven't had any trouble getting parts and they have been no more expensive than anything i ever did to the VL. Much nicer to work on to as everything just fits. No plastics that snap when you try to unclip them etc.
Having said that if a euro isn't for you then that's that. Crusing in the Merc pre-restoration was an absolute pleasure. People actually wanted to look at it rather than wish the ****heads in their old commodores would piss off and make their noise somewhere else.


OP i know you have already chosen to drop the BMW idea - is it something you will always want though? I always wanted the Merc and knocked a couple back when they came up. Regretted it each time which is why i grabbed the one i have now. Having said that it isn't my main car and it never will be, it's just a toy.
The quality of my old Merc supasses any commodore or falcon i've driven lately - however i'd have no issue owning either as my daily.
