3-Series (E46, E90)Chat relating to the BMW 3-Series from 1999 to Current. Models include: BMW 316i, BMW 318i, BMW 318Ci, BMW 320i, BMW 323i, BMW 325i, BMW 330i, BMW 328 Ci, BMW 328i, BMW 325i/xi, BMW 330Ci, BMW 320d, BMW 330d, BMW 335d.
Hey guys, I was wondering what your opinions were on which is a better car: a '00 VW VR6 w/ 80,000 miles or a '99 323i w/ 125,000 miles. I recently traded my VR6 for my dad's old 323i with no regrets but what do you guys think.
well youre comparing a vw to a bmw theres your first hint
?
Quality is in the build and owners care...not a name....there are some terrible BMW's out there...
honestly i say its a tossup..but ultimately the decision is yours...you are happy, and you say you have no regrets...so why did you start a thread? lol
Sorry the VR6 is a jetta. Haha, yes I am happy but I admire your guys opions as well. I guess another question is which will last longer. The VR6 was driven harder than the BMW and I've heard VWs have problems past 80K but then again the BMW does have 120K! And what about comparing engines, I don't know much about cars but I'm very interested. I know inlines are better than V6's but I read somewhere that the VR6 is pretty different than other V6's, any thoughts?
