No ford is shit

>not LPG

Well fuck off then. Where the fuck is my LPG thrad?!

If you can afford it, E46. The E36 is a more fun car to drive at lower speeds, but mostly due to its lower limits, better midrange, and better steering feel. The E46 makes most of its power at high rpms and it's a way faster car all around so you really gotta drive like a fucktard to enjoy it.

They both have bad structural defects (subframe tears on 46, rear strut tower rot/tearing on E36), and the simpler, more reliable S52 is offset by being put into a older body made during a particular malaise era of BMW where they chose to put the cheapest plastic in places plastic simply didn't belong.

I'd get the E46 M3 definitely over a 996 911, and the E36 M3 over a 986 Boxsters S. Both are comparable, but the BMWs are far far cheaper to fix (just price out replacement engines) and have a better aftermarket. Cheaper and more practical, too.

The E36 is more akin to a S2000/RX8/Boxster S in performance. The E46 is closer to a Evo/STi/370Z.

Thanks for the feedback, I've been leaning towards the E46 all along, but in my searches I keep seeing the E36 pop up and they don't look bad at all (but I always kind of thought it was a bit lesser of a car).

>>15275364
It's definitely a lower performance car. It's still relevant in 2016 being as quick as many 10 year old sports cars and new sport compacts despite being 20 years old. But the E46 is still better.

Figure $10k for a nice E36 give or take $2k. The E36s are appreciating just because they're so old, nice ones are hard to find.

$16k for a nice E46 give or take $4k. There's more of them out there, but avoid SMG cars unless you can deal with changing a $2000 pump.

Maybe you should've worn your seat belt you fucking dumbass. How is this shit not a reflex at this point?

Hello summer

Soft top is shit. They leak in the rain, rip easily, fade very fast, and also get lots of wind noise. With no insulation if you live somewhere that actually has winter you'll need to keep the heat cranked all the time

They're great except in the winter. With soft tops you definitely get what you pay for. If you buy a cheap ass Pavement Ends top you will experience everything the poster above me said.
Buy a premium top. You want sail cloth and pressed windows. I recommend besttop. Make sure you apply the dressing, and keep the zippers lubed with graphite powder. Good luck.

>>15274826
That top is right from The factory. Mother bought the jeep last year new with both soft and hard tops and the soft is nothing but garbage. Hardtop is perfectly fine tho aside from some annoying vibrations

That's seems way overpriced for an EP3

9200 what? $,€, dildos? Anyway no, that's overpriced as shit wherever you live.

Buy a honda, not an ep3

3 months is overkill young underage b&.

My first car was a stickshift. I learned in a week. Hardest thing is going from a stop on a hill when you're learning. Also traffic sucks.

About a day to get used to changing gears and controlling the clutch, and maybe three months to a year to some what master the clutch in all kinds of scenarios.

Why do muricans always instantly jump to insinuating any European poster drives a 1.0l econobox?

Jealousy?

I could also add

this 2bh

also I would like to add, most of the time the bait is pointed at americans because they make almost half of the boeard, it doesn't seem smart to set a bait aimed at peruvians or nepalese people

nothing personnel kid, its just easier that way

Forgive me if i'm not onto this but Isn't that basically what the LT5 was? fairly high-revving for its time and displacement reliable V8 that i heard was kinda peaky and made quite a bit of its power at the higher RPMs.

Lingenfelter has also made high-revving cammed LS and whatnot. i don't remember where i found the video.

Also feel like this thread is going to be nothing but shitposting come-morning and i'm probably jinxing it too. guess we'll see.

>>15273577
But anon, Chevrolet's VLC is functionally identical to Honda's VTEC. Two cam lift profiles, and the ECU can switch between them using oil pressure.

>>15273768
The LT5 was completely different from the LT-generation small blocks. It featured DOHC, making it quite heavy, andexcept for the bore spacing, it shared nothing wth the other LT's.

Chevrolet made the old DZ302, which aftermarket builders like Lingenfelter have replicated. Used in trans Am and Formula 5000, it was a high-RPM screamer. Thing was safe up to at least 7000RPM - although they were used up to 8000RPM, which kinda hurt reliability. They competed with Ford's 302 and Mopar's 304 engines, all of them using 3'' strokes and ~4'' bores - really oversquare.

Show me a video of how vlc works..

I doubt it is efficient as vtec.
