    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.

        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

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

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

                        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.

                          Pics of said e28:








                          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.

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