Alfa romeo 156(2002-2003) vs BMW 3-series (2003)

Did ARs have optional AWD back then?

I'd take an Alpha Romeo, the newer ones don't rust over here and the 3-series was the best selling car in Britain last year, how is that for common?

Hey I resent that. Not all of us are.

I didn't say 3-Series Coupé, did I?

You gotta think about reliability as well The AR´s is pretty poor. I´ve heard tuns of bad stories about hem,even the current ones....

The choice is: Do i wanna pretend i am rich or do i go for style and performance ?

If reliability is the goal here go for a Camry bud neither will be as reliable as the Toyota but I'd go for the 3er if I were in your shoes

AR's reliabilty problems are more continualy niggling than catastrophic failure these days. Although replacing the plugs on four pot T-spark engines will cost around £120, for example, and I think even BMW would struggle to rape you of that much cash.
