i went out in a m8s 3 series compact and was so impressed wiv it. it slides around like a dream especially in the wet! this is my first sort of experience in a rwd car being driven properly are all the rwd's like that or the 3 series perticularly gd? especially for the fact that you could go and pick 1 up for quite a bit under 2 grand in very good nick are there any other alternatives?

 

Anything with any sort of guts will step out in the wet
Thats why god gave us RWD cars

 

i used to have one, good fun in the snow till you hit a parked car sideways at 30mph, oops

 

The 3 series compact is the worse bmw out the lot for arse end fun try an old 3 series sport if you can, thats real fun.

 

I've been told 3 series compacts drift better than the normal e36's, or just get an old e30 to drift,

 

Compacts arnt great, normal E36s are better, esp if they have a diff, so if you that easy pleased, you gonna love a proper RWD car.

 

yh i liked it
also the 1.6 engine is fairly insurance friendly for a young driver i do believe although i havent checked this out yet? could be having one of these in the near future i fink to set me up and get used to driving rear wheel drive cars before i get a saff !
