I'm looking into a 97 max SE 5 spd and I might have a choise of a 97 328 sadan 5 spd. Which car would you rather have??

 

I pick 328 for name and luxury; MAX for fun

 

If they were the same price then I whould pick the 328. I think the 328 is a good 10 Grand more though so it's a bad comparison.

 

if u got the money go for the 328 u also have to consider the insurance cost of the 328 as it will be much higher

 

328 in a heartbeat, I love my max but it doesn't have the heart and soul a BMW does

 

328

 

328.

 

if I was buying new, then possibly I'd buy a bimmer, but I've heard so many stories of BMW engines blowing with very low mileage and more problems than you can imagine...for reliability, I'd buy the Max.

 

No used bimmers for me. My old boss's boss(or something like that) had a 95-96 325. She bought it new and babied it(dealer maintained). After spending around $4000 after two months of tranny problems, she ended up trading it in on a 98 C220. She loved the bimmer, but just couldn't justify spending that much to keep it running.

If I'm buying anything European, it's going to be new. Once the warranty ends, I'm selling or trading. I wouldn't be able to sleep if I had to pay that much money for maintenance. Performance upgrades...yes. Maintenance...HELL NO.

Shoot I'd buy a used Hyundai before getting a used bimmer.
