The BaT thread for the cars we won't buy, but kinda wish we would

I dunno, I kinda like the stripes. I’m a sucker for white with blue stripes. Although I have a matchbox Ford GT in matte back with gold stripes and it looks pretty badass.

Oh great, now I know that this exists.

That car seems to be sitting awfully low in the rear. Is that normal for a sport suspension (even if aftermarket)?

I like the E36 in coupe form, but my favorite 3er coupe is the E46. Other than that one, I think the sedans look better.

You should definitely buy it.

E36 quarter panels are stamped with lower wheel openings than the front fenders. I think the purpose of that was to make the wheel-to-fender gaps look the same at the factory 4x4 ride height, which also had a lot of F/R rake. When the car is lowered and the factory rake reduced for improved handling, the rear tires look "tucked."

I really dislike the look of the E36 sedans. Which is weird because I greatly prefer the look of the E46 sedans compared to the coupes.

I even know someone who is towing a trailer from California to the east coast in a few weeks.

Looks like it's going to head out of my price range.

Bummer. But then, I always think, “Saved from myself.”
