Sour Kraut's 951

I can no longer drive the 951 because it is a 5 speed. I have an offer on the table to trade for an auto 2002 Beemer with the sport package with 94K on it.

I know there both German, but that's where the similarities stop.

Input is greatly appreciated.

Are you kidding, I love my 325Ci, it is the most reliable and fuel-efficient transport I have owned and it really moves when you want it to! If you are a boost addict though you will miss it.

I drove a 325 w/ a 5 speed once - definitely no power especially coming out of a 951.
If you could I would try to pick up one of the '06 GTIs with the DSG. Lots of fun and in a similar price range.

Why is an '02 BMW only worth (trade) what a 1980s 951 is worth

While not "blasphemy" to trade, it certainly won't be the same.

Well, if you can't drive the 951, any car you *can* drive, even a Honda would be better.

Another vote for a late-model GTI 2.0T with the DSG box for you.

What 325 did you drive? I am guessing it wasn't the e46 Ci with sport pack. That 6cyl is more responsive that my 951 and keeps up with it very well, the thing is fast!

Why cant you drive a stick any more?

I drove an 03 I believe. Wasn't a sport package but I can tell you getting out of the bone stock 951 into that car made me seriously want to turn around...
I was actually looking for a 3 series for a DD around the 12k range, ended up in an 09 GTI instead. Super happy.

i drove a 325 a couple months ago seeing if i'd like it as a daily driver. i didn't really like it, seemed gutless and heavy. it was a 6spd and for some reason i've always hated the clutch on bmw cars

The car in question is a 325i, granted the lowest of the 3 series, but I think they have improved since the 94 I owned. I will still have the two other turbo cars so I will keep some boost but nothing like the P car.

Thanks Van. Also your video's were instrumental in my service work last year. Many thanks for your time in producing those.

Yes. Next question?

Knee problems if I had to guess. My brother is in the same boat.

My DD is an '08 3 series. Love it.
