Decision time-- Need advice!
 

Sooo,

My mom may be getting a new car, she currently has a 2002 4.6is (100k miles) in silver.. So I thought, ok, we will sell that. Until, my father presented me with this option. Sell my 2004 4.4i (98k miles) and I can have the 4.6is...

I'm stuck.. I LOVE my 4.4i. I've put tons of sweat and small mods into it (including my rims, lights, steering wheel, tints, etc). And my moms 4.6is is "mom-ified" there's no denying that the 4.6 is a better beast than my 4.4.. But, my car has a special connection to me.. Plus being facelifted..

What would you do?

Oh I also want to consider value. From my estimates, these cars are worth about the exact same..

Ps, if any of you are interested in buying either of them.. This may make my decision easier..http://tapatalk.com/mu/80fdea38-8206-d1a7.jpg

If you take the 4.6, do you get the money if you sell your 4.4? I'd keep the 4.4 if you don't get money for selling it....

Nope. I get zero money.. Except for selling my wheels, etc..

So you are basically asking should you buy your parents car off them?

Sorry, other photos look small

Nope, just do a swap. I'm still in college. Don't need to buy anything. My dad would sell my car (technically under his name) and let me have the 4.6is.

Sell the 04 and keep the 4.6Is.

Naz,
I vote for the 4.6...a bit 'rarer', I like TitAg, I like those style 87 20s, etc.
Just my 50Cts.

Naz let's get real now, I know it wasn't your daddy that presented you with this "option", you know it was you who presented this to them.

Anyhow, if your 4.4 has that much sentimental value to you, I suggest you keep it. Although, your mom's 4.6 is "mommyfied" as you state, then it should be in great condition also. As far as what you've put into your 4.4, it can easily be forgotten/reapplied to your moms 4.6. If you sell your rims, you will have cash to tint out the 4.6 and some left over to buy the carbon pillars. The only thing you will need to do, is bake/heatgun the headlights and add AE's or go Depo or MrBMWx5. Also, I know you have thought about adding front and rear 4.6is/4.8is spoilers and arched fender flares to your 4.4, now you don't have to retrofit.. I am sure that you have washed, clayed and waxed your moms 4.6 before so the outer conditions should be about the same as your 4.4. Also, its not like your going from a X5 to a Ford Explorer, your doing BMW for BMW(with more power).

No disrespect, but you are one lucky sumbitch who will still be "Kissing French (off craigslist), Wearing Italian and Driving German".
