I have my GTI for 9+ years, not because I love my car and want to drive it to the ground. It is because I don't make $200K job to afford new car every 4-5 years
Luckily, your GTI came with rust proofing from the factory
Look underneath!
No need to spray VW's at all.

Yeah I got it used, but it was CPO from the dealer, and it's on both sides of the car, so I doubt it's anything accident related.

Fuck all you assholes with this 200k shit, I didn't take the contract gig, so I'm at my old place with a nice raise.
Newer BMWs come with factory undercoating and a zinc coating, thats how they can offer an 11 year rust perforation warranty. If you can drive one, you can certainly afford to replace it within 11 years. If you were driving some jap crap, then yeah, I sold my 97 subaru with just because it started rusting, it ran perfectly fine. Sold our 2005 before any rust started, because we know 7 years with Japanese cars is the limit. My 2002 M3 had no rust in 2010 when I sold it.
As for E36s being more rewarding to drive, my neighbour has an 2002. You want road feel you got it. Hell, even an E30 M3 is more rewarding to drive, that doesn't mean I want to own one to DD. The E46 was the best balance of modern without all this computer isolation. E36 is just plain old now Oh, and E90 looks dated as shit now that the F30 is out They just didn't age well.
Wes, WTF is up with that rust, you drive that shit through salt water or something?

^^ I'm talking about the 2013 F10 screen. Freaking beautiful.
As for placement on the E series, the double hump looks like an afterthought, and really screws up the dash.

Love me some F30 for a daily
Can't afford it though. Maybe when they drop in price in a few years.

My 2002 M3 had no rust in 2010 when I sold it. yes it did. You just couldnt see it.
The E46 was the best balance of modern without all this computer isolation. e36 does it better. everyone knows this.

I used to like E46 M3's...still kinda do, but really they do nothing for me. They are the new ricer mobile, you can get one for like 13k locally.
E36 is a damn fine car. I love the e36's with 330 fender mods, fuck wide body, just flared out fenders and they look tits. There are the race version and the blended one. You can stuff a 275 tire like a BAUCE.

Yea riveted ones are for track cars, the molded ones are out there. There is a guy with an LS swap running 285 squared IIRC with the properly done fenders. Looks legit, can't find the pics though.

I didn't look under the car. But my passenger side door is rusted from the inside on the A-pillar, rust on the driver side fender, hatch. It's a 11 years old car, so I expected. Compare to 2006 Mazda 3 and older Protege's rust problem, I am very happy.

e46m never did anything for me. its like a bloated e36 gone wrong.
wouldve been nice if we got a better heart but it can still boogie.
My thoughts exactly. IMO, that is the only 3 series that hasn't aged well.

^^ What? Are you serious? Look how dated the E90 is dude. Yes, the E46 M3 is the new civic, but thats nothing that the E36 didn't go through when it got cheap. Why put tacky fender flares on the E36 when the E46 comes with it stock. I ran 285 rubber for track/autocross with no fender modifications. People are running 305/315 with some fender rolling.
Fender mod is optional, wtf are you comparing? You aren't making sense right now.
How is the e90 dated? Maybe you are getting that idea because they are common as hell and basically look like a corolla...they've aged just fine. The LCI ones especially don't look dated at all.
If you think the e90 is dated then I am sure you must definitely be convinced your x5 also aged horribly because it's the same sh!t.

X5 will look dated as fuck when the new model is out. None of these cars are aging well, the shapes were just too wierd, nothing gracefull. And yes, the E9X is as common as the Corolla.
Where are you getting the idea that the tail lights look the same? The new 3 tail lights make the car look like a mini 5 series.
The L shaped tail lights are a BMW trademark, so they haven't gone to another shape, but the E90 tails aren't even close to the F30 tails.

The F30 rear looks like an e92 rear.
Either way, the F30 is goregous, and yes it's a mini 5 series. Still don't see how the e90 looks aged.
