Track car advice
#22
I'd love to say the 205, and if it was a petrol I'd say do it. I know I'm gonna get flamed for this but having driven a couple of diesels on track I wouldn't ever have a diesel track car because of the lack of revs and narrow power band, not really a problem on the road if you drive it right but it really holds you back and spoils it on track IN MY OPINION Wink

Of the other 2, I'd forget about the E30. You won't get a decent 2-door manual one for £700 these days, E30's cost big money especially with a 6-pot, and although the handling is good their pretty unforgiving at the limit, not a great first RWD car to be honest...

My money is on the E36 328i. Excellent handling, torquey but revvy 6-pot that with a new fannymold and remap is capable of 240 bhp, slick 'box, available for way under a grand these days, very tough and easily modded :mrgreen:

I've driven all 3, and I'd want the 205 if it had a petrol engine, but of the 3 I'd definitely have the E36 for the track Smile
