Which do i choose??

SO i have a problem. I am selling my e30 to a guy in Wisconsin in the next 2 weeks.. (he is coming down directly after Christmas) <<<not the problem...

PROBLEM>>having almost bought a e28 M5 earlier this year but backed out due to certain issues that were not made known..:shifty add the money i have now with the money i will have in the coming weeks i SHOULD be able to start a noice little e34 project...that much is certain.. BUT the question becomes..which one??

I basically have 2 options..

a 535i 5speed with the engine freshly rebuilt for only 3k



or a 525i with a S50 swap waiting to be done with the 1st month of purchase...

Specifics about the cars include..

535- Alpine on tan interior needs small bit of interior work but nothing a hour on the FS section and a weekend day wouldn't cure..M30 has been rebuilt in the last 3 months...

525-enthusiast owned...with cross drilled rotors and black interior on black exterior the motor wont matter b/c it will be coming out anyway...after a few exterior issues are taken care of the swap would be roughly 3k after the initial purchase of 2 thousand


i know for a fact i would be sinking more money into the 525 for the simple fact of the swap.... but a s50 highly modded e34 sounds fun...however so does a fresh M30 torque monster....Wat Do??

First option. Then with the money you saved over the black one you can buy yourself a nice turbo :)

:pimp: well damn.. i mean turbos are great and all but i promise you the first thing i will be doing is buying a clean set of M parallels and a miller war chip for the m30...

Have you seen the second car in person? That last (interior) shot has been used in at least 2 CL ads in ATL I've seen in the past week.

Test drove it on Tuesday actually...and that picture is a correct representation of the interior..... guy was really cool and a old school enthusiast very honest and upfront about the car

For what ever reason i keep leaning toward the black 525i... i mean the m30 gives me all the torque in the world.. but there is just something about the linear power that appeals to me.. plus the black on black is a better look than white on tan IMO

Okay good. The ATL ads were sketchy at best.
