I hate the bimmers current front ends.

 

I have all kinds of options but most don't have a warranty...and subaru did make coupes in the impreza platform from 95-01...98-01 2.5RS' are quite popular for STi swaps...jdm suede sti interior and our usdm sti engines, brakes and drivetrains in a 2800-2900lb car...but that's for those who like to play

I would never buy a audi or vw unless i had money to burn and didn't want to be serious about playing with the car. Aslo can't think of a audi coupe that isn't a chicks car...for a dd to keep under warranty, then yes...I'd definately take the 335 before them though.

 

Yeah, my friend has an 01 coupe, gutted with racing seats and such. Its sweet. I know what you mean by not wanting to have a project like that, but his is just awesome.

 

I did forget about the s5 though...
yeah, the RS done up would be more of a toy because of the work required to get it to that point...either that or take 2 weeks and have a shop do the full swap...from there it is as good as a oem car.

tough call between the s5 and the 335 imho

 

subaru does make a coupe awd but its not boosting u can always buy the ej20 motor for it the warranty thing not so much but u will have the coupe awd boosting n very few ppl have it but if ur gonna mod a new car u void the warranty ne ways so ur better off jus building the car n saving money for mods or the vw r32 is pretty bad ass tho.

 

Longest....sentence.....EVAR!

 

One has 4 year everything covered for free warranty (blow the engine and go to a dealership that warranties everything...they'll replace it), easy as hell to work on (for worst case scenario), inline 6 and turbo instead of V8 N/A, more powerband, more power potential, the option for ellipsoid 162 wheels
, cheaper--built my "apeshit" 335xi for just $3k more than the starting price of the S5, with expensive everything....etc.

 

 

the S5 looks 10x better though

 

personally I would build my own car as I enjoy it, get what I want, know everything about it and will ultimately be much much faster

any particular reason you want awd because in that price range there are some other cars I would much rather have that are rwd
