Think i miss having a hot hatch...
Discussion
Starting to miss my old ST I think!
And having looked at Seat Ibiza Cupras and the like on AutoTrader, I'm starting to think buying my 330i was a bit of a mistake.
Granted the boot space is wonderful, the 5 doors are a godsend and it's a very comfortable place to be, it just doesn't seem fun.
Going sideways is enjoyable, but that's just about it.
Someone convince me the BM was the right choice.

Hot hatches are fun now and then, but beepers can be comfy and fun. Sounds like you need to release some 6 cylinder sounds. I fitted an AFE stage 1 filter from usa ebay, proper job and sounds much nicer.

If I considered releasing more sound, I'd cut the backbox off, sound wonderful when replaced with some straight pipe...http://www.ebay.com/itm/AFE-Power-Stage-1-Intake-S...

You sucumbe to peer pressure and bought the wrong car! Hehe besthot hhatches can be be mor fun for mor of the time!
It wasn't peer pressure.On paper, it looked the perfect car for me right now...
4 door, plenty of space, big boot, RWD, ample power, comfort.
But now I've done a few skids, the excitement isn't there as much...
Edit; if I'm being honest, I think I prefer FWD over RWD. I don't know why, I just prefer how it feels. I must be the only person on PH to ever say that!
.Current car is an 02 330i saloon, for those who were wondering.
1 series' are horrid looking things, apart from the coupes, which just aren't practical for us in the slightest. (Toddler to go in back, plus my work tools live in the boot permanently, so needs to be enough room for them, plus shopping etc...)
The only M3 even slightly close to my budget, would be a dog of an E46. Plus I don't like the look of any of the 3 coupes, much prefer the looks of the saloon/toured.
I think I could be going to look at a Cupra this weekend. Not sure yet...
