    New Daily

    Hey there...new member here
    So i'm looking for a new Daily , and so far i'm settled on one of two cars :-

    1.a bmw e30 with either an e36 318is engine or i buy a m50b25 swapped one

    2.a honda crx del sol with a b16 engine

    I lean towards the bimmer in a way that it has more room than the honda in both the cabin and the trunk, plus the knowledge that i have about the e30 is far beyond what i know about hondas

    But at the same time...i'm leaning towards the honda bc it's more fuel efficient and parts are more available than e30 parts (where i live)...and the fact that it's a 2-seater doesn't bother me at all, i also like the removable top on the del sol

    What do y'all think i should get?!

    No e30s, again :(
    If you get a later 318, they have that m42 motor and get awesome gas mileage. Those little civic crx are cool, not so much the del sol though. Here in america, thats a girl's car. Guys don't drive those del sol civics.

    A regular civic crx is super cool though, just like an e30 but no fun rear wheel drive
    No e30s again.

    M52 E30 touring & E91
    ^ The M42 E30s are actually pretty rare outside the US, as far as I know. Here in Europe we got the inferior M40 engines in the facelifted four cylinder E30s. Not sure about the situation en Egypt.

    OP, if it's your first car and for a daily, I would personally get something stock.
    Don't be too afraid of a timing belt though, and consider a stock E30 imo. They're awesome
    ^ true story

    I driving daily E30 with m40 engine for 8 years. I've never had a bigger problem. Except for some small failures that can easily fix. Fuel economy is also solid.

    In Europe, that is about 10l/ 100km to me. Easy ride urban/highway.
