Keep your Civic. You'll be dumping loads of money to maintain the Bimmer.

iced!tea · 04-22-2008, 11:01 PM

Don't do it. They are wonderful cars, but not with 90k miles. I wouldn't want my wallet to have anything to do with that car. You will regret it.

08_tw_si · 04-22-2008, 11:01 PM

yeah cant even do a oil change by urslef with out the dealer....no way i save the my life and keep the si.....low miles vs high miles.......high miles no go

Asif22 · 04-22-2008, 11:12 PM

don't do it...a person I know got a used 330xi and he went to the dealer tons of times for shit going wrong. luckily under warrenty...that car isn't i dont think...dont do it

Opticon · 04-22-2008, 11:15 PM

i definitly would not do it because of high maintenance prices, 90k miles on a bmw is like 200k miles on a honda. they r pos's. plus they r terrible on gas

Exeon · 04-22-2008, 11:17 PM

sounds like a dumb idea

keep the si

pkkid · 04-22-2008, 11:19 PM

Sexy car but doesn't sound worthwhile

bizzybearfigiblue · 04-22-2008, 11:21 PM

i don't have to repeat what everyone else said about maintenance but IMO this would be a downgrade... don't think of name think of what u have and would be getting...

if it fits ur needs then do it, personally i would keep the Si...

trey99ek · 04-23-2008, 12:03 AM

It fits my needs. I am just getting bored with it. I want something all around nicer. I guess I may pass on that one. Thanks. I was looking more. $70 just for the oil. Damn

well an M3 w/90k miles definitely isn't nicer... the Si is the absolute best bang for buck... u won't find anything in the same class for the same price... if u want something nicer u'd have to go above $30k IMO... b/c sub $30k nothing is better...

taffy07si · 04-23-2008, 12:11 AM

Dont do it. I had an e46, non m3 but it was a PITA! Even if oyu did the oil change yourself it still costs you around $50, not to mention those things have more than 4 o2 sensors. They are known to go out a lot and power steering leak is not worth it. E46's are known for their notorious power steering leak. Mine had a leak, and it was at 40K miles only. Traded it for the Si. Also, i worked about 20 miles away and got gas on average 3 times a week, sun - mon. TRUST you will watch the gas meter go down as you drive..your going to be like..WTF??

Also at the price, you are being ripped off! A co-worker got his 01 auto-manual m3 with 60K at $28K otd, nothing down.

Litlelev · 04-23-2008, 12:15 AM

yea, best to stay with what you got. Save up and buy 135 in a couple years, it doesn't sound as nice as an m3 but damn it's fast.

s0opa_Si · 04-23-2008, 09:09 AM

DO it! and enjoy the maintanience and insurance! on that sucker! =) but you cant go wrong with the m3! Your si is just a baby! you'll learn to love it and it will grow on you when you take the baby steps to mod the si..watch!

I won't be modding it. I have passed that part of my like. I had a 99 civic that I put too much money into. Most I would do if I keep this is tint the windows. I may wait a year and look into a used is250/350.

I Vtec, do you? · 04-23-2008, 02:43 PM

I'd pass on it, prolly 89k of hard miles on it.

***Cybergypsy*** · 04-23-2008, 02:44 PM

Buy it life is to short not too

***sh33t_0f_p4p3r*** · 04-23-2008, 03:15 PM

**** that, if you want somthing nicer, trade in on a new accord or a used TL

trey99ek · 04-23-2008, 05:14 PM

I like the TL's. For the money damn thing should be RWD.

trey99ek · 04-30-2008, 10:04 PM

OK done with that M3 crap. New love. 2006 G35. 13,000 miles. Pro's, Con's? Going to look this weekend.
