wow went from a bmw back to a max, hmm usually its the other way around. but a fellow .orger is always welcome back. anyways, my .02 about springs vs. coilovers. i think you should base your descision on how serious you are about your car, your cars handling, and your cars future. since you have a 99 with reletivly low miles your probably going to want to hang on to this car for awhile. so if your in it for the long haul then i would say to do it right the first time and spend a little more to get real coilovers i.e. D2s or JICs. if you do hang on to this car for awhile youll be thanking yourself 5 years down the road for having spent the extra money originally for the better product.

 

Welcome back.

 

hah i knew you'd be back...

 

Who are you?

 

Welcome back.

 

I wish i could make a step up and then never look back, but regardless, welcome back...

 

hahah

welcome back

 

ya i miss the bimmer kindoff but it was to boring for me , it was auto and only a 528.

In a few years i am still planning on getting an M3 or a 540 6spd...

Im trying to get some info on the D2group deal right now, if everything seems good and i can hoop on the GD then im doing it. It just seems like the wait is kindof long...

 

........

 

So you had a max - sold it
got a bimmer - got tired of it
got another max - sold it
and looking for a new max ???

 

i think your gonna regret getting a 99 later on.

 

why will i regret getting a 99?
I wanted a 4th gen cause i like the look better than the 5th, but i wanted low miles.

No i had a 97 maxima- it got stolen
got a 96 maxima, moded it- sold it
bought a bimmer and got bored of it - sold it
got a 99 max and love it

 

But nothing beats a 5 series with a drop and 18's... total pimp

 

528 + auto= teh turd.

540i + 6MT=

 

so you're 18, and somehow go from a $21,000 car but decide to sell it and have a $10,000 car?

 

I don't care for BMW since they are costly to maintain and repairs.

 

people dont get tired of bimmers


and if they do, they buy 3rd gens

 

i thought you were looking to get a 5th gen? before i got this max i was looking at 540 6spds also....then i just decided to stick w/a max.

 

well i turn 19 in 5 days if that matters.

The bimmer was 14k, not 20 and i paid for all of it except i owed my rents around 1500 still when i sold it.

 

so he'd go from pimp to beater?

 

that BMW looks smooth.

 

from pimp to race car

 

I have a 1990 honda accord 5spd for a beater

 

welcome back!!!

 

too bad you don't have the 19s anymore. Wlecome back though!

 

Welcome back.

 

dont worry , im steping it up soon, 19s with a fat lip are on order
