thinking about a mk2 16v from an e30 325

[rosscovw]

hello im new on here and for the last couple of days i have been thinking about getting a mk2 16v gti the only thing im worried about is how is this going to compare to my 325.
anybody else made the move from e30 to mk2 valver?
let me know please and im sure if i do get one i will have many more questions to ask
thanks

hi mate. welcome to the crack house

I had an E30 325i cab (which is heavier)

I drive an 8v daily and have had a few 16v's
I would stick with the e30 as they are just refined mk2 golfs imo.

I sold the cab to double my money but i would have kept it. I nearly sold the mk2 

you will have better mpg in the golf, the golf with handle better and the accelorator pedal is lighter.

E30 has more pull and the engine noise is amazing!!

Both are german cars and both follow the same euro look. E30 has more street cred.

im not helping am i

But bimmers have the reputation , no-one has any respect for a nice BMW theyll just think "T**T" where as people look at a nice styled dub n they show some respect

[Mr Blue]

no way mate, not an e30!
you have to own one to really know tbh.

First day i had mine. 3 random people nocked on my door and asked if it wanted to sell it
Got all the dirty looks and i loved it

I get offers on the mk2 but not as much as i did with the BM.

E30 or MK2....its a tuff decision

I would say keep the BM even though in a golf nut. up to you

[rosscovw]

no mr blue your not helping 
it is such a tough choice and im not sure what to do i like both but cannot run both cars

[Mr Blue]

yes its a tuff choice. I even asked for help on this forum and some thought i was attention seeking.

post me a pic of the e30 you have and ill decide for you

both have same build quality. The e30 is more expensive to insure and parts cost a bomb.

how that

[Stu.750]

Wouldnt even think about turnin down an E30 shape M3 tho

[Mr Blue]

Wouldnt even think about turnin down an E30 shape M3 tho

say if it was a choice of e30 m3 or golf rallye?

 

[Stu.750]

Strip n track the E30 M3 , would last longer on full chat than the rallye

[rosscovw]

i'll try to get a pic up tommorrow it is a white 325i with a fake mtech 2 kit and 15" bbs
i just feel that i have had my fun in this and it is time for a new project, just need to be sure
not after attention seeking just nice advice like you have all offered so far ,thanks

if it was an m3 i wouldn't even think about changing
