JJ, a decent E46 handles epicly! IIRC you had the 318? The suspension setup vary massively depending on engine.. number of doors etc..
I've driven my brothers E46 328 ci after it had new wishbones, decent tyres and a proper 4 wheel alignment + camber setup etc.. they stick to the road like shit to a stick! Genuinely didn't think that something with that much weight could be thrown about so much
Have to agree with jj, can't say I've even enjoyed being driven in or driving any BMW and I've experienced everything from 318, compact, estates, m class and an 850csi
Yes you can have fun hanging the back end out but PC plod has things to say about that.
Infact a very good friend who is also a very competent rally driver had 3xx estate and says it is one of the worst cars he has ever driven and it made his wife feel ill.
The Mondeo is a very capable car , did 30k in mine never had a egr or DMf issue, almost got a tdci st but couldn't find one we liked enough at the time
We now have a 156 2.4jtd and I have to say it is one of the most comfortable cars I have ever driven. Last week we drive to Spain, kids fell asleep in the back and I managed to drive for 7 hours solid and felt fine at the end of it,
Volvo v70 not that bad to drive, my dad has had one since almost new and it just feels a bit wallowy
