Having owned a Lupo GTi and a mk5 GTi I’d go for the mk5 unless size is the deciding factor.

Lupos have tons of character but I wouldn’t want to pay what a decent one costs these days

If we're at the stage of recommending executive barges, how about a slightly rough E46 330d and drop the change on a hybrid turbo, intake, exhaust remap and a used LSD.Delphi wrote: Tue Jul 20, 2021 9:26 am Buy this and spend the remaining £2K on coke and hookers.

The E46 has never been executive, or a barge. HTHBeany wrote: Tue Jul 20, 2021 9:46 am If we're at the stage of recommending executive barges, how about a slightly rough E46 330d...

Hmmm - watch Hoovie's Garage. I don't think I'd have an older V8 BMW of that era now.

Yeah, especially the 6 series. They seem to be rot boxes.
The Phaeton is cool, I think I'd be disappointed with a V6 one knowing all the other interesting engine options though.

I know it's exceptionally stupid but I kind of love this. Would be good for one of those banger rallys

Not at that price!

W12 is the one to go for but there's none currently for sale that I can find - they're all V6 diesels.ZedLeg wrote: Tue Jul 20, 2021 10:40 am The Phaeton is cool, I think I'd be disappointed with a V6 one knowing all the other interesting engine options though.

Yeah, I had a look and didn't see anything. Would be tempted by the V10 diesel too.

Are you thinking about E24? The E63/64 don't rot at all.ZedLeg wrote: Tue Jul 20, 2021 10:40 am Yeah, especially the 6 series. They seem to be rot boxes.
