It was one of those rare opportunities where I could move up to a 2002 525i Sport/Luxury without the dreaded "car payments." I sold the 325i for $4500 and both the buyer and me got a good deal. I would have loved to have kept the E30 as a "project car" but a 3-car family with a 2-car garage -- the math just wouldn't add up. The really good news is that every time I get in my 525i, I'm continually amazed at how far BMW has come with their engineering and overall quality since I bought my original BMW in 1989. For sheer driving pleasure, I still think everyone else is jockying for 2nd place!!
