question on make and model

[Chip42]

I can't help you with the mileage question. I'd think it's more about maintenance and whatnot. cooling systems are particularly troubling on BMWs, so make sure what you get has good maintenance records and is in good shape. If I had to choose, it'd be BMW all day over the RX8, but I think either can be a stout car in R.

E46 325 IMHO. Better chassis, find a coupe and look bad-ass. From what I understand, the 325 has better power potential within the IT rules. I think the 328's intake doesn't flow as well and the typical BMWCCA fix is to mix and match stuff we can't.
