To keep things simple.
The SAAB is far superior in case of a crash
and the 2.3L turbo engine can be made into
much more power for not that much money.
The 318 stick well... at best you can gain 15Hp
after spending the same then on the SAAB to gain
60Hp.
Many BMW drivers that I know preted their 330s, 530s
535s, 540s are faster then my moded 9-5 Aero... but when
it comes down to compare on the Autobahn their cars don't
look so good.
The BMW will have better resale value!
No it is up to you to pick the one you like best...
My suggestion would be to get the SAAB if you like
to have a car for a while that is nice to drive,
safe and easy going. The BMW will be more fun cause
it is a stick... but depending on where you live you
might not want a stick.
Regards,
Coolknight
