What to buy?

Long story short, I'm moving to Europe and have to sell my FRS. What's my next option?

All depends on where in Europe? As the French love French cars, Italian love Italian and Germans like Germans cars. The Brits will drive any car.. Also you need to take into account local driving habits, the French and Italians love touch parking so be warned..


I can't believe I am stereotyping... hey ho!!

BMW E30 Wagon, bring it back to the US (especially if military), enjoy, sell for profit, or do the 325e block + is head, or S52 swap it for a psuedo E30/E36 M3 wagon shenanigans.

$10k+ once it hits US roads, nice drivers in Europe for like $6k USD, beaters for less.

Edit: nearly forgot this video

Some small hot hatch since I've heard roads are smaller, parking spots are tighter, and gas is over double the cost than here.
