Buy the GM 900 - leave all the classic 900s for me, because I love them and they are infinitely superior to GM 900s. Just to be clear - buy the GM 900. All C900s in the UK are destined for my yard. > I've got a 1990 900i and I have to say, I love it!

My first suggestion is to sell both (maybe to me), and buy a GM 900. The T16 is superb, it's almost ideantical to your 900i, but lots more fun. Much faster (maybe 3 seconds or so off your 0-60 time). Fuel consumption will depend a lot on how much you take advantage of the increased capabilities ;-). Maintenance - they're virtually the same car, so no change there. You'll probably get through tires, pads and clutches quicker. -- Grunff
