| 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.

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

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.

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.

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