You could buy a lot of gas with $6K...something's not right with this 'deal'

you pay 6000USD to get a car with 30K more miles on the clock, with unkown history? don't do it.

forget about 4.6 for a while, let's be practical, are we in a rally all the time? the 3.0 has enough kick, less cmplicated systems, easier to maintain, etc... and it's your car, you know its history... keep her.... come on, go get her a nice detail and apologize to her for having such a thought

So I just finished checking out this 4.trash and man I am glad I'm not one of those fools that just act on impulse. So after inspection we found that this X was previously in a collision. A collision which cracked the engine and was soldered back together (great job by the way cuz you cant tell unless you get underneath it). The transfer case had been replaced and after doing 70 on the west side highway, a very strange shake appears. After lifting and removing the fuggly rims, we noticed it has a slight bent in the cross-member.

The funny thing about this all is... the owners face. He was acting all surprised at what we were telling him and at what he was witnessing. Bullshit if you ask me.

I wasnt looking to for a trade cuz I am very happy with my 3.0i, but if it was a win situation for me, then why not. I will be pampering my baby with Turner Motor Sport pulleys, a new water pump, gas filter, and an interior detailing, and I might just do a Dinan stage 1 trans and engine software upgrade so she can fully forgive me (20% off sale through 12/31). Just a few things to apologize for just having the "thought" of trading her.

such a shame how people could treat such a beautiful car in such a crappy way!

ohh well, enjoy your 3.0i, send her to phil for a serious detail!

Ah, don't do it. You'll regret it if u do. If he was an enthusiast he would be on here. Don't do it

I say Go for it!

Face it, the 4.6 is a lot more fun than a 3.0, and Estoril is about the coolest color there is on earth!

I think the rims are fine, a lot more fun than most original/and/or black rims that I've seen on this forum. But that's a matter of taste, change them to 87:s if you want.

If your main reasoning is low mileage to stay away from service you should look for another kind of car, a cheap, simple Japanese car instead of a BMW!

I think you just missed/bypassed the entire thread and completely missed post#14. I have no desire for a Japanese car(no offense to those who own them).
