Hi everybody,
The lease on my 2005 330ci is due in 4 days!
The buy back value on in is $37,000( Canadian dollar ) and change .............
As you might be able to see on my profile, options I have on it are;
M sports package.
Premium Package - with premium sound
Nav. system
Steptronic
Park distance
And my car is in GREAT shape .....no dents no dings....
Now the question is;
Should I keep it or drop it off?
I love my car and I still prefer the E46 body to the E92........I test drove a 335 the other day ...cool engine but I was not ecstatic about the interior ........
I was in London, England a couple of months ago and I got to see the new E92 M3 in person before it's official debut.........The sound of enfine is pretty good but it's matured compared to the M3 E46 which has one of the best sounding engine in the M line up I believe........and I really wanted to get an M3 for my next car ....
With the US / Canadian $ current exchange rates I might be able to get a low milage E46 for about $40,000 ( have to add the import tax and some other fees ) "Don't think" it'll add up to more than 3 or 4 grand ...
I'm writing this post in a hurry so please do let me know if I should be giving you guys more info. in order to have your opinion on this ............
Should I keep my car till the new M3 comes out and then I get an M3? ..Is it worth to switch to an E46 M3 and drive that for a while and maybe in 2009 get the E92 M3....should I drop it off and get a 335 coupe and get the E92 M3 but the second production year maybe in 2009 ...........Should I buy my car and sell it privately?
Sorry for the long story ......Any help would be highly appreciated......
Cheers,
Andrew
