328i coupe or MR2 for track slag ?

[rs4al]

Have narrowed it down to either the BMW or MR2 for a fun rear wheel drive track day car, my budget is around £1500 and have discounted the mx5 as rust issues have really put me off, especially now the mx5 mk2+ has serious issues with chassis rail rust.

Any pointers ? Favouring the MR2 as lighter and maybe a bit more fun to drive and if the engine blows can always drop in a 3.0 v6.

Sorry mk2 mr2 n/a as seems the best availability at the moment, thought about mk3 but a passenger and two helmets driving to the circuit might be a space issue with the mk3

Finding an mr2 is proving a bit difficult so have moved the mx5 mk1 into the list as well, as am guessing they will be depreciation proof if in good condition.

I love MX5s BUT even stripped out they aren't remotely fast.

Great fun though

(I have a 240bhp turbo MX5 track car)

Not after fast, got that in my daily driver. Want fun and chuckable, also the mk1 seems to be quite easy to tune either FI or ItB's and would probably cost less than an MR2 turbo.
