as you can tell from the smilies the golf for all it's rattles and faults compared to the quality of the bm's (imo) is still one of my favourite cars that i have had.
iI can still remember picking it up from Bristol and letting it rip leaving the toll gate to go over the bridge (coming from a 1.4 rover aswell )

No mate it was an e46!

E30 325i sport was without doubt the best car I ever owned, spent an absolute fortune on it getting it up to scratch.

My old man has an old e39 Turks and went into the stealers a good while back to change it for a new one and they offered him peanuts for it so he said stuff it and kept it and it just keeps going and going virtually trouble free (other than the usuall maintenance issues) and he love it.
