The automatic in my cougar is driving me crazy I hate it, I just bought a new one yesterday maybe it'll be better but I just don't like autos very much.

The 5 series will definitely be bigger. The comparable generation of car is the "E39", from 1997-2003. If you get them with the inline six engines (525, 528, 530), they're fantastic cars. The V8s (540i) suffer a bit reliability wise. The former are also easier to find with a manual transmission, which is the only kind of BMW you should consider.

Unless you were talking about a 323, the 525/528/530 engines are absolutely identical to the motors in the 325/328/330.

There are a few 5 series in my price range too but I kinda wanted the smaller engine. Oh well if I cant fit there is a 99 GT calling my name.

Have you ever driven one? My wife is 6'1 and she found she couldn't get a comfortable driving position. Knees would hit the under-dash trim if she was close enough to rest her wrists on the noon position of the (not-very-adjustable) steering wheel.

Also be aware that there was a narrow year range where BMW completely messed up the steering of the E46 cars. Look for "e46 steering problem" and I suspect you'll find the relevant information.

(btw: E46 is the internal chassis code of BMW 3 series from 1999 until 2006 or so, when the body style and chassis changed. Kind of like Fox, SN95, etc represent different generations of Mustangs. Wikipedia i'm sure explains all of this as well, but I figured i'd offer a bit of explanation in this post).

Me too but I kinda need something a little more practical. I've been looking at a 1999-2003 BMW 3 series but I don't know we will just have to see.

There is nothing remotely similar between an 88 cougar and a 'late model' cougar.. outside of the emblem of course.

An '88 is not a late model. That's 20 years old!
