Re: 1990 bmw 320i or 1985 mbenz 190e or 2000 astra?
What are your expectations and why are you getting a German car?
From what I heard, the 190E can be quite cramped sa likod since maliit talaga yung kaha (I would think the same of the BMW but I cannot guarantee you that). Matipid yung 190E 2.3 and it also has decent power.
Contrary to popular belief, MBs and BMWs aren't that quite hard to maintain dahil parts are readily available. The two differ in purpose. The BMW will most likely have a sportier feel, while the MB a more solid but stable handling. I cannot say much on the Opel, though.

i would go for the 190e mbenz because of its durablity and reliability, its been built to last by MB talaga.. we have our 1983 240d 123 body MB and its been very reiliable and parts are easy to find and cheap considering its an MB... suspension has very smooth ride.. no probs and potholes or humps sa road....

Hmmm... the 190E? MB classic yun, somewhat sporty if you can get an early one in MT... One of my dream cars is the 190E 2.3 Cosworth... MB's answer to the early BMW M3.
The 1990 320 is also kinda small, as far as I know, but quite sporty, and still good looking.
But if you want a sort of modern interior and comfort, I think the Astra wagon is the best bet, and it's also kind of pretty when you dress it up.

190E aka W201 for me. Kahit yung 2.3 or 2.6 model. Medyo overkill at exotic na sa akin yung mga 2.3-16. The 2.3 engine made around 136bhp. Adequate power to carry the body.
Keeper car ito. Pwede nang ipamana. Parts are easy to find (surplus, brand new, replacement and OEM). Numerous third-party Mercedes only shops in the Metro.
Best used as a personal car. The back seats are cramped. That's one reason we didn't trade up to a W201 and just kept the W123.
