    keep it. Save money to buy an e34 later on because the ix is getting harder to find

        Keep the ix.
        But then again a 530 with the six speed, and sport seats is badass.

              at the moment im kinda leaning towards keeping the ix. i know im going to regret it once winter hits again. i mean i guess i would be getting the same gas mileage by the looks of it lol.

                  Honestly I dont think a 530 is worthing trading a ix for.

                  Front end suspension is a big issue on e34's once they get old. Control/Thrust Arms, +all bushings are gonna need to be replaced at some point if they havent been already.

                  I'm not at all familiar with M60's so i dont know what their quirks are.
                  But If you want a e34 535i or 540i is the only way to go, IMO. My 535i was the most badass car I've ever had

                            The E34 is a wonderful car to drive. Just not with that engine.

                            Keep the ix.

                              there's a reason he wants to trade. his car sucks, yours doesn't.
