Well for starters, a 65-Beamer was asking for 4.6, had done 100k +, a 320D, G- Reg beamer 86k was asking for 5.8 - H reg 320D's asking rate 6.0- 7mill having done 30-50k,

HI GT Thanks for the heads up. I did some searching n came up exorbitant pricing for the 320D's. A4's go the same but at times slightly cheaper. Considering power n Torque, Merc's fall slightly short of the Beamer n Audi. So I'm left with considering the Beamer or the A4. Quite a lot of good reviews on the Beamer though on handling and power, n the 320D's got quite a lot of power and torque over the A4. Still considering cos of budget constraints. thanks again bro. Cheers

Thanks for the info guys. Still compairing between the three, cos all three seem good, but considerationgs again at resale, maintenance, cos def a 2000-01 reg wud be 100k plus km's meaning almost overhauls. any tips here???

Im looking for a good Diesel German Car, eyes these - BMW 320-5/330D, Merc C220CDI or Audi A4 2.0TDI, registered around 2000-2001. What area's should I look into and how are there performances generally. I tried looking over the net for Diesel German Marcs performances and came up almost empty handed, so looking to you guys for some input. My opinion is basically, a Diesel 2-2.8 liter engine can do well on fuel and has enough torque to pull its weight and accelerate at a decent rate. What concerns should I have - or what should I keep a look out for.

Hey guys - cool photography - me happens to be in that pic - thankgod that aint my car and nopes i Wasnt driving either but good hint to the driver too!!!! Btw - Team on the passenger side won. Apparently driver dude had wanted to load something into the car n left it in start to keep the AC running, n suddenly - this commotion starts. . ...

Its a white Falcon - friends got it from aus a long time back. Hes running it on LPG, converted originally from there itself. pics of course i might have to wait for a while. have to get this engine conversion planned before i buy it anyhow. Dont wanna even think of running for more than a week on that v8. ill get sold. i agree with you wholeheartedly buddy. i wouldnt wanna get rid of the v8 either. but cant manage the eat up. still considering - this conversion as an option only - depending on the running ill be actually doing. obviously i wont run it in traffic - ill have to pump every couple of days a full tank. thanks for the tip on the conversion bout the drive shaft n the engine bay and works. yep ill have to get hold of a mechanic who'd not freak out seeing the thing in the first place and who'd not faint hearing of the conversion. its a 3 speed auto at the mo i heard. but need to get more specs from the feller. have to do some more research on the whole thing before i go ahead.

Its a Ford falcon - its got a petrol engine in it running at the mo - V8 - which i dont wanna run on - considering the fuel eat up. N a conversion should be have a good power to weight ratio to give good power n good mileage.

Any one have any ideas where to get a 2.4l or 3.0l Turbo/non Turbo Diesel engine - to pull a car thats somewhat heavy, weight almost equal to W124 Merc slightly more. Definite Manual gear box, prob 6 speed if i can get my hands on one. this things had Gear on the steering column, if im to go for the normal floor board shift how do i go bout changing - change entire dash and steering column or just chuck in the floorboard gear box...
