trade my car for a 1998 bmw m3?

my car has 120k miles

his has 90k

car is black

my car is a 2001
ive been thinking about it but i wanna see
what you guys have to say

Willy Mo · Feb 22, 2011

I had a 98 328is. (one step down from the M3) I loved that car. But I traded it for my mustang. I couldnt go teh other way around. But the M3 is a mean machine.

I'd say it may be a little more unique, but don't they have a 240 horsepower engine with like 225 torque? I know they weigh a little less but i'd imagine we still pack more potential in our 2v 4.6

richondo · Feb 22, 2011

unique, yes. but it's an older bmw

not old enough to be classic, but just old enough to be "old" haha

i had a 318is and while it was comfortable, i wouldn't trade my pony for it

parts are more expensive for repair and performance! just sayin'... plus it would be sad when you get smoked by an american icon and say to yourself i used to have one of those...

I've had both the Muscle cars and the Euro cars. They make great daily drivers, sometimes I miss my Audi-
But it always feels like your driving someone else's creation and that never did it for me.
I like working on my cars, making them my own, etc.. and I'm glad I traded my Audi for my GT. Almost got another S4 but in the end i went with the long-term potential of modding my ride myself.

There's only so much you can do with those cars, and i needed more.

No. lol

xXJayManZXx17 · Feb 22, 2011

no way

mrbigjeep · Feb 22, 2011

Heckkkkkk NO I wouldn't trade for that turd. Pain to work on. Big junk box. And the older ones are hideous inside and out IMO.

you'll regret it once you take it to get an oil change and the money they charge you for it. if you dont mind high maintenance cars then go for it but atleast get the 2000 body style

are you confused with what i said...? why the quote?

eddy21x · Feb 22, 2011

yeah ill keep mine
i thought they were faster being an M3 and all
after researching it for a bit i have to say

Hellll noooo lol

anyways thanks guys

I would get it to drive back and forth to work, and keep the Mustang too. They're nice cars, and very comfortable, but lacking in performance in that year. A few years newer, and the answer would probably be different.

hooliganryder · Feb 23, 2011

i had a 318ti the car just felt cheaply built...and u gotta have a special tool to change the oil... yeah it was cool having a bmw...but i hated the car after the cool factor wore off..keep the stang for sure

therat1989 · Feb 23, 2011

Not for a 98. I raced one with full exhaust and lightening mods and with 4 people in my car spanked him 3 times. If it was an E46 I would say yes. Or if it had the Euro spec motor...but that probably isn't the case.

Scott2001GT · Feb 23, 2011

this is ANYTHING

6.0 Ls2 GTO in 80's M5

For turning a BMW does well and hard fun little cars for straight line Mustang..keep the Stang man
