), my daily driver (BMW 318is) overheated on the highway due to a blown bleeder valve on the radiator. In my attempts of fixing it I discovered many other things which needed some attention and due to time constraints I got my mechanic to fix everything for me, which blew my entire budget for the Swallowtail.

You posted a question re Golf vs BMW on a VW forum and you want an unbiased answer??? I think you already know the answer but just want justification from the good people here.
It sounds like you've got a mechanic who doesn't respect the fact that you have little money and just need a car for transport. That's why he found (and fixed) lots of little problems. If he isn't finding cheap parts to keep you going then why are you wasting money on an old BMW?
OK Jordan, how far away is the Golf from being registered AND can you afford to get it on the road and fix the little problems that are bound to come up?
If the Golf is registered will you then fix the BMW (which will give you 2 cars and more time to slowly upgrade the Golf) or are you going to sell the BMW and put the money into the Golf?
From your other post I presume it isn't the orange Golf that had all the rust so is money the deciding factor or time?
Remember, use your head to make decisions not your heart. Otherwise you end up like me with a car that I absolutely love but drives the rest of the family insane. I've also got 6 old cars now, 4 are registered and only me and the wife drive.
Cheers
Paul
