be careful dude, and don't run before you can walk...its going to take more than a year before you can curse word around in a 200bhp beast properly...i went seriously wrong a few times in my 328 when i wasnt trying to be a prick, and i had the experiance of motorbikes for a long time too.
i even managed to wrap my 316 into a bus stop while driving home very tired, and proper munted the car

i was 18 when i passed my test, and to be fair if you look around insurance isnt a issue, i had, in order
1.6 sunny slx (1600 16v twin cam, goes well) e30 316i saloon 400 rover saloon (1.6 16v etc...curse word) mk3 1.1 fiesta 1.1 106 (seriously underrated) skoda fabia vrs (sporty diesel model, still cheap cheap to insure but on par with st, gti etc) e36 328i touring (cheaper than fabia to insure, despite being nigh on 3 litre straight six with 190bhp) 1.4 corsa b sport (curse word...curse word..gf old car...curse word)
so, just look around, and you will find insurance. just remeber big engine cars cost more than you think to run. i used a small fortune on petrol and rear tyres on beemer.

unfortunetly ours is a mint 70,000 mile example...don't think he would go for rattle cans.

two cars, my fabia vrs, even though it was a money pit and more than anything, my 328i toruing, cant find pics at the mo, but it was mint, i loved it, and sold it for a grand. got minimal money because fuel prices peaked, and everyone panic'd. so i think...

as jaykay says, 328i is the best bet. 325 throttle body does nowt but a 325i manifold makes 210 bhp . close enough, great engine too

e36 328 with 325 throttle body conversion, >200bhp...

oem bmw wheels aint cheap, but replica's are. although when i had my 36 touring, i went through 3 sets of rep rims in a week which looked sweet but where complete gash, and ended up with oem 46 wheels,
