Which would you buy? - Blu-ray Forum

I'm stuck in a situation that I can not make up my mind with. I currently own a '96 328is but I've been thinking about selling it to upgrade to a faster car. I have currently spent quite a bit on my car to make it track worthy and it did pretty good at the first race I took it to. My dilema is that my neighbor is selling is M5 that is in perfect condition and he said he would give me a really good deal on it because I'm his neighbor. This M5 was the car that got me into BMWs, had I not driven it a couple years ago I would have never bought the 328is I have now. Also I have found some really nice STi's here in ATL that I can't help but drool over and I originally wanted to sell my car to get one so I can have some fun off-roading rally style. I didn't even consider getting another bimmer until my neighbor offered to sell his M5 really cheap, like thousands of dollars cheaper than KBB.

So what should I do?

1. Keep my 328is and finish making it a track rat (start removing interior, put stage II clutch in and then put larger brakes on, engine is already modified quite a bit and tuned)

2. Sell my car and buy my neighbor's 400hp E39 M5 (flawless condition, he even waxed it with $1,500 wax...to give you some what of an idea about how crazy he is about his cars)

3. Sell my car and pick up an STi and set it up for rally

the insurance for me on the M5 is actually considerably cheaper than my car (I still can't figure that one out) and the insurance for me on the STi is about $30-40 more per month based on the year.

I really can't make up my mind

. I love my car now and it is a blast to drive (especially on the track) but I miss getting the chance to take a car off in the mud like I did my Outback. You could not get that stupid car stuck anywhere no matter how sloppy the mud was

. Then here is the chance to buy a mint condition M5 that looks like it hasn't even rolled out of the assembly plant yet and at the price he is selling it to me, I can turn around and sell it a year or two later and make money off of it.
