Erm ... The classic is the better car. Why? The key is in the right place and the bonnet opens the right way :) > Also..... > I've got a 1990 900i and I have to say, I love it! Hoping to get a classic > T16s/aero soon how will that compare to my trusty 900i on speed, fuel > consumption and maintenance costs? I have a 1985 900i and a 1989 900 turbo 8V. I actually find that I get better fuel consumption from the turbo during my usual weekly driving. We're talking MPG here, rather than cost, since I *always* use super octane in the turbo and regular unleaded in the injection. I get around 25 MPG and 27/28 MPG respectively.
