used e46 316i

[linonmi]

Need your advice guys

We're thinking of selling our e36 (1995) 316i. So far, the only replacement I could think of is an e46 316i - great handling and not so much of a gas guzzler.
A friend told me to get a used A4 instead, he said something about it being a more refined ride.

Any other alternatives/ suggestions?

go for the 318i na para atleast 143hp because u might find it slower compared to your e36 because of the added weight coupled to the 1.6L engine. meron atang M/T ng 1999 na e46 non facelifted sa car and finder ads dto. i think its a better buy than an A4 because of the overall package and the resell prices.

e volvo s40 T5? 200hp yun at mura pa luxury + power + safety

Wag A4. Maganda lang tingnan pero hindi sobrang sarap idrive unlike BMW.

Look for the facelifted E46 316i, para 16-valve na yung engine. Yun kasing hindi pa facelifted, 8-valve lang, so malamang mas mabagal pa sa E36 nyo yan dahil mas mabigat.

E46 318i with the 2.0 4 banger should do fine... you can get '02 to '03 models for around 1M more or less AFAIK.

If you're into aftermarket tuning then thats where the A4 comes in. ;) The Volvo S40 T5 is also a affordable Euro sleeper.

My vote goes to a 1.8T Quattro, plus chip upgrade or reprogramming. Para maiba naman.

1.8 Quattro 3.2M + chip upgrade 50K= 195hp sayang petot mo Civic si 2M 197hp
Power to weight ratio get a bigger displacement 3 series Bimmer at least 2.0+ who cares about gas when you can afford a Bimmer.

But a Civic is not an Audi, and has no Quattro. Personal choice lang naman, not trying to impose.

Bimmer siempre but then again biased ako, hehe. GL

Thanks, I'll keep those things in mind.

I don't mind the 1.6L engine since it's only just for city driving.

So far, the only one I saw in the ads is a 2001 316i for P760,000 (negotiable). I'm not sure whether it's the facelifted one though.
