    give me some pros and cons - keep my car or....

    well, this is the deal. I've been thinking about some stuff...I'll just format some pros and cons of my car.

    pros-
    -I love it
    -All wheel drive is fun
    -Perfect body
    -Perfect factory paint
    -Beautiful Interior
    -115,000 miles - reasonably low
    -It's MY car
    -Almost every option
    -runs great
    -sounds SO badass. so loud. best sounding car I've ever heard.
    -tons more, too many to list.

    cons-
    -BAD oil leak
    -some weird battery problem I think maybe....

    -hard to buy parts for
    -parts are more expensive
    -can't drop it to the ground
    -never really have much of an option to upgrade to better engine
    -groan from the back that could be either the diff or the tires...leaning
    toward tires for various reasons.
    -if anything on my suspension or drivetrain breaks...bad news. it
    probably never will...but still


    now, most of those cons are not THAT bad. The only problems it has are the oil leak and battery thing. I don't really have the battery problem figured out yet though, might be nothing.

    so now my question, should I keep my car and fix the few problems ($300 oil leak from the guy in town...too much?) and keep my car because of how much I love it and stuff. Or should I get a 325is or 318is with a nice body that I could put an engine in or that already has a good stock engine? You know what I mean.

    I wanna keep my car. I actually just wish I could have 2 cars. or 3 or 4 or 5. or more.

    I don't know though...blah blah blah!

    well, for now, I think I'll keep my car. After I get the little things fixed and start to modify it more, it'll be amazing.

      this sounds like an internal debate that somehow became a thread.

          Solution: Part your IX (selling me the brake booster) and buy a 325is.

            okay, I changed my mind. I just went for a drive and there's no way I'm getting rid of my baby. :D
