I have an 03 525i and am wondering what to trade it for

afroeman · #1 08-04-2003, 12:43 AM

I have a 2003 BMW 525i optioned out like a mofo, and i need to know what to trade it in for. I was thinking about a Type R Integra or Civic but I might get a 5th gen hatch maybe a DX or CX and then do a B18C5 engine swap and then add on possibly a big fat snail and name it GReddy

. just give me some of your ideas. I was also thinking about becoming

*DriftMasta*

and getting a 240SX or a 300ZX. anything will help.

Why would you trade a 5 series for a Honda!?

Ummmm I dont even know where to start.

It's not a bad car at all, you could fall asleep in it in seconds it's so damn comfortable, but it's automatic and I've always loved hondas. Plus I want something that I can work on and tune anyways. the 5 i cant do a whole lot besides Supercharge, Exhaust and other small stuff. It's a good drifter too but I want something funner.

lol. If you have money for a brand new BMW, why the hell are you wasting time with hondas.

i say trade it for a 1981 Pontiac Grand Prix. It combines style with big huge steel panels to make for the ultimate pimp ride! If that is not your taste, how about any 70's model Ford Mustang? Yes, the 70's, when all vehicle designers used way too much acid and came up with the most hideous pieces of shit they could think of to fend off the evil demons they saw the night before.

In all seriousness, I would stick with the bimmer, unless its auto, then i would trade it for a lexus sc400 or possibly a new 3 series bmw with manual. the lexus is small but still packs a decent v8 and the bimmer, well that is the ultimate driving machine!

I'll give you my car for it.

why not trade the 5series for like a 99-00 M3?

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.

True, but I still love the M3, plus a M3 would be no additional cost out of his pocket, considering he has a 500 series 525i, the top 500 series M5 might be a little cost out of his pocket. That's my train of thought, but hell, M3, M5...they are all tight as hell. He can't loose either way

M3 or Mroadster/coupe would be nice
M5 would be better
The new 500hp V10 - wait for it

i think '05 model
6 series is coming back
How about 850? 7's are nice

I love BMW's -- If I had the money I would take a 318ti & do a swap before doing a civic swap. RWD is SO MUCH better than FWD

Fuck it - get a Z8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jackasssi, thats the best idea yet, get a Z8!! Hell Yeah, 5 liter, 32 valve engine, 400 HP, 0-100km (0-62) in 4.7 seconds. If you can take of the electronic limit on the top speed (155mph), you'll really get that baby up there!! Doesn't it have a near 50/50 weight distribution, if I remember correctly, That, with RWD, makes for some damn good handling and concering. Great Idea man, I definatly like this idea too. Of course, if he can't afford it, the M3 and M5 are good too. 5.2 seconds for 0-100 km (0-62) and 343 hp (on the german version at least, isn't too bad either

darkaccord · #15 08-05-2003, 09:40 AM

Get an M3 and a T8 turbo or something, and you'll make at least 500hp!!
