I need a new car. I am thinking about the BMW E30 325i and the Mercedes 190E 2.3-16. They seem to be within my 15,000 dollar price range. Are these good cars?

E30 is by far easier to own and get parts for.

Loved all the e30s I've had over the years. Wish I had them all back now. There's your answer. :-)

The Cosworth Benz is definitely cooler in my opinion.

I agree with this. I cracks me up that MB went to Cosworth when they wanted a motor for Touring Cars. The body kit on them screams '80s, but it is a car that I would like to own. They have shim under bucket valve adjustment, I'm told, so that would be a butt to do.
