Should I trade my e60 for a e46
 

k fellow rs'ers, i need some expert advice on this dilemma

i have a bmw 530i e60 (2004) and someone wants to trade me for his 2002 e46+apparent 9 grand worth of mods, and atleast 500 dollars on top,

heres my car:
http://www.revscene.net/forums/65231...60-extras.html

and heres his car:
Trade my fully loaded 2002 BMW 325ci+Mods for your 2004 BMW 530i E60

his car has 134,xxx compared to my 150,xxx

we've already tested each others car so i know everything about it already
his car has ac schnitzer body kit, carbon fibre roof and interior, good condition inside and out, fully loaded, rims, k&n intake, lowered on forgot what brand of springs (but no struts or w/e).

the way i see it--

pros: nicely modded, hes going to throw in installed angel eyes and performance chip for me, works at bmw so half off parts and can find him for service or any problems in the future, added cash, and i wanted to sell my car anyways

cons: my car in my opinion is just as nice if not nicer (as in cleaner), its a 5 series, ill miss the luxury of a 5, his car has some mods im not a fan of such as the led rapid turn signal, and some dings and scratches here and there

ill appreciate ur serious advice and opinion,
and thank you all in advance!

I'd stick to the E60. You'll miss the better fit-and-finish of the newer car, plus the features.

i wouldnt

uhh no lol.....its just a 325....maybe if it was a modded full packaged 330. Id stick with the e60 fo sho.

WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?????

If it was an e46 m3 maybe

Modded older car or clean e60? You seem to want the mods but I'd go for your car stock over a 325ci.

That's a major downgrade imo.

Just saw this car the other day he's a lot boy for service lot, I never knew lot boys got half off BMW parts tho

stick to the E60, and this is coming from a guy with a e46! lol

+1 or E90 325i

mod should never count 100% toward the sales price, and the modded parts on this car don't look too expensive unless they are all authentic stuff, but still, the trade is a major downgrade.

E60

Mods don't justify its value. The market does.

E60

A young kid owns it, which means it's likely been abused and it's lowered on stock struts which is another major strike against the car.

Oh yeah. I forgot.

Four Doors = More Whores :troll:

wow kk no competition there
thanks guys

no

no man.. the 5 series is way nicer car then the 3 series.. unless its an M3...

keep the e60, think about it this way, the guy doesn't like his modded e46 anymore so he wants yours which is nice and in good condition. If it was a e46 m3 then, hell ya but anything less than yours, NO. I'd regret the trade if it was me.

steve we dont get half off bmw parts only like 10% off at most, and yes thats correct he is in service wash lot staff, car is decently modded. don't know anything about how well it runs or maintenance of the car tho. Personally I would just cuz I am not a huge fan of the older 5 series

VW owners and fan boys get no say. Your opinions are the least credible of any. Go get your coil packs ready.

That car has been listed on craigslist for a looong time, he has made a few different posts trying to trade it for whatever. Id stick with your 5 series

I was just trying to point out to OP that the guy won't really help when the car needs service nor would he get half off on parts.

I'd keep the E60.

Exactly what I thought

Its like if you had a M5 and you are asking us if you should trade for m3
