your advice please ?

I want to buy a car, I'm hesitating between BMW 325i '92, Audi A4 2.8 Quattro '96 (little more expensive than the others), Nissan 300zx 2+2 '90 and Acura Legend LS '92.

In therms of reliability and quality, what should I buy and why ?

Hmmm.....Let's narrow this down.

The Nissan line (was Datsun) came and developed from the Datsun 240,260 and 280. The 300 was a shadow in plastic of the originals...
Nah! No 300ZX!

To be honest the BMW and Audi are both good vehicles. Depends alot on where you live in this case. If you get cold weather w/snow & ice I'd get the Audi just for the driving conditions.

The BMW 325i is a great car with classic lines but isn't as good a driver in the cold stuff as the Audi. If you live in the sunnier areas then the BMW would be my first choice by far! Also BMW is known for great vehicles that will last 200,000 to 300,000 miles under proper care.

Mechanical wise the choices from best to worst are:
BMW...Audi....Nissan.

For modifications to add on for speed & power then the Nissan might be the best vehicle to start followed by the BMW. Nothing wrong with the Audi but parts might be tougher to find speed-wise. But if I had a 300ZX I would change the outside body lines. Maybe even a Kit-Car mix n' match into a cross into something else! If the body is going to be alot of plastic, then the plastic would be what I want it to be, not what Nissan made!

I want to buy a car, I'm hesitating between BMW 325i '92, Audi A4 2.8 Quattro '96 (little more expensive than the others), Nissan 300zx 2+2 '90 and Acura Legend LS '92.

Nissan 300ZX. They are pretty reliable, but parts could be pricy. If it its not the turbo, then dont get it. It is a really good car. And Stillen can make it awesome.

Otherwise, Audi. The old bimmers can be really expensive to maintain. The Legend my be a good cost-conscious choice, as it would (should) be cheap.
