yey or nay?

I have been offered a 125k 5 spd 533i with no visible body rust in "good" running condition for my very reliable 25mpg ford ranger that I daily. Should I do it or save myself the headaches of a 26 year old 5 series? i have 1350 into the truck total.

What do you want out of the 5er?

[TopOfTheLine89]

fun daily. has to be as reliable as e30 atleast

[Stanley Rockefeller]

nay
with the truk you have a cheap, reliable vehicle that you know.

with the 5er it's just another old toy, that's not as useable (the truck has a useful box).

just my .02 cents

[Scallywagon]

keep the parts hauler imo

[TS323]

whats the year/milage of the truck? is it 4 cyl or 6.... or the shitty 6? do u do stuff on a normal basis that u might want a truck? or would u want a 4 door that u can haul people easier?

[Rsully70sev]

definitely keep the truck. there's nothing like having a bed to haul, and throw shit in.

Took the words out of my mouth.

keep the truck, it'll be more useful in the long run. You already have a toy

Keep the truck... Those ford ranger's are durable little guys

this.

ok, that's what my instinct was telling me but i needed it reaffirmed. I think im just longing for a bmw cause my e30 has been down for a month now do to turbo install, should be done soon though, just need oil return and tuning, maybe tcd chip.

Its just so clean, its hard to let go. My ranger is pretty rough, dented and rusted bed, super rusty power steering lines but runs and drive like new.

easy decision, just do this to the 5er:

I kinda like the looks of the 5er pickup, but the e30 one beats it
