Huy Buddy, you said you wanna trade it for a honda 5th gen maybe. Wanna trade with me

In all seriousness, if you wanna trade it for something cuz it's an auto, why not trade it for another BMW, like a 99 M3 manual or something. If you can afford a 2003 525i, why are you wanting to get rid of it and drive a civic? I'd stick with the 525i, and buy a project car to work with, like a 92-95 civic or 89+ 240sx. Not too expanisve, and a fun project car you can mold into what you want and build up. But don't dump a BMW for a Honda, please!!! I you have your heart set on dumping the AT 525i, trade it and get a slightly used 99+ manual BMW (I say go for a 99+ M3!!). Since your car is a 2003 525i, you should be able to trade it for something like that easy.
