    In reply to jrg77:

    When you finally decide to replace the XRS I have a solution that meets your requirements. Honda Civic Si sedan. 8,000 rpm, 4 doors, and it will do 30k / year...no problem.

    Old E30 parts and such aren't really that bad; not for a German car, not for any car. I was in college when I bought mine. The newer BMWs get, the more costly and often the repairs come.

    Increased my best mph on an off ramp by about 2 mph first try.

    Bad idea. Take it to the track.

    Bought an '11 Civic Si brand new. My Xrs now has over 225k miles. I still like it better. I now need to get a beater so i can do an overhaul on it. I'm tempted to find another one, or get a GTS.

    Uhm, why do you need to get a beater? Don't you have a '11 Civic for that?
    Or just looking for an excuse to buy another car, like the rest of us.

    I want to rebuild the engine in this one, and still get to work. My better half drives the Si.
