giving up my 280Z for a BMW E39 M5?

[zbane]

Mohamed,

have you got any photos of the M that you could post?

[jmark]

or I just go for a loan and keep my Z ?

I'd keep the Z & get a loan....

[twsutt]

...I really consider the loan much more than before, my family will support me right now getting the M5, but I guess that I'll take a loan and give them back thier money...

Mohamed,

Let me get this right? If you get a loan it will be from your parents? Interest free?

If that's the case then it's a no brainer - Keep the Z and get the loan for the Beemer.

well at the mean time I'm borrowing money from my parents + some amount from selling my Z32, but I would get a loan to give them back the money.. they could help to do the thing faster nothing more.. so getting the loan will not be interest free:(

pictures of the exact car are not with me now.. but u can enjoy this with the same color;) it looks exactly like the one in the clip.. but without Madonna at the back seat:)

Get 'em both. Double the insurance, so, hopefully you've set a budget. No matter which way you look at it, cars are a losing investment. You'll always spend waay too much money on them.

stay with the z.!

I too have BMWs. Currently one motorcycle (K75RT) and one sedan, a '96 328i with 5 speed, factory Sport package and 17" Schnitzer wheels. I have also owned an '81 323i in the past.

As others have said, they are great all-around cars. Frankly, my 328i will spank my stock 240Z pretty much at will, do it in quiet comfort with music playing, A/C running and still get better fuel economy than the Z.

But note that I have owned the BMW for almost 5 years now, but I started buying Zs less than 2 years ago. The BMW doesn't satisfy all my personal vehicular needs. The classic lines, character, personality and exclusivity of the Z are qualities you can't add to a BMW. If these things aren't important, buy the BMW. If they are, you're going to end up buying some sort of classic car at some point in the future. So you may as well keep the one you have.

That was a hilarious video. Nice looking car too, but definitely not a Z. I'd like one of each please. If you can swing it, that's what I'd do. Otherwise I'd just keep the Z. It has much more "flavor".

[BuDavid]

ok, I have to admit that I feel ashame of myself thinking of selling my Z, since EVERONE arround me told me not to sell it and keep'em both as some of you mentioned.. :nervous:

in fact, I have the car in the garage since yesterdays afternoon, I have taken few pictures, but I forgot the camera at home before comeing to work:dead:

I could attach some photos tonight.. but guys, talking about Mpower, those machines make a ":laugh: " on your face, of course when you press the "SPORT" botton and disable the "Dynamic Stability Controller":smoke:

but I'd rather not play with it since it becomes really serious when buying spare parts for it:p

I'll attach photos soon, I hope that it'll impress you guys..:knockedou

cheers.

You'll burn in HELL...all the "Ghosts" of Z's departed will come after you...() You'll be in the desert lost and the one lone Z that drives by on the road will just keep on going.......saying something like "Remember ME".....

Mohamed,

I, for one, am happy for you. I know exactly what that M inspired grin feels like-take it from me, there is more power available to you than you think.

If you want to add more power, check out http://www.dinancars.com/

And Mohamed, this is very important-When you want another Z car (and you will!), I guess you'll just have to come over here to find one!

Anyway, have fun with the "new" car!

[BuDavid]

webdawg1, good reply manLOL I hope that you will not be cursing me also IF I sell it

David, nice Mpower that your wife playing with Dave:classic: but as far as I remember, you or your wife had an accident with it, is this photo bbefore or after? if after.. it is really in a good shape, I hope that ou don't have abnormal behaviour of the car at higher speeds.

oh!:eek: thanks god I noticed that you typed more stuff under the picture:classic:

it would be the best going to Texas as far as I know to find a neat Z, but considering hte travelling expenses and time.. it might be hard to do.. sticking with mine might be easier.. but if I take it that wa, going for a vacation, it might worth it, since I've never ben to your "continent":p

I wont rush myself, I'll think wisely before selling my car.. I allready told the buyer to look for other Z's but the sad thing is that that guy was calling me and telling me that it is hard for him to sleep coz he was thinking of my "Silver Wine" (what do you think of the name I gave her?):classic: the older the better and more precious:knockedou

here you have some pictures of the E39 I got in front of our house.. I love this type of headlights those neon type or what ever they are called. and the rear lapms which glow like horizontal lines..

and yes there is more powr than I thaught when I turn of the DSC and turn on SPORT mode:devious: and man, handling is great! two wheels revvvvvvVVVVvvvving behind me and I'm able to take off in a straight line with slight touch on the steering wheel!

adn for sure, couple of pictures at wierd angles of my Z.. it is true, cnnot compare the lines of the body between a Z with any BMW, they have that cool look saying "hey, are you having a good day?"

enjoy..
