Hey whats up guys. I have a 1995 bmw 325is, i know its not a 240 but thats the problem. See 240 is my dream car but my bro helped me get this bimmer because we just needed a car fast and i dont really want it cuz its auto. And now i dont know what i should do. Should i put my money into this car and fix it up and then sell it or should i just sell/trade how it is right now?? i have my heart set out on a 240. I dont know what to do now...

Sounds like you've got your mind set on the 240...

What you don't know about 240s is that your typical 240s are a serious money pit. Stick with the Bimmer until you have money to build a 240. Dailying your typical 240 is a headache.

True your right. but right now i just got my car back from the shop and the guy said im gonna need new springs and shocks thats like 600 bucks right there. should i just invest in coilovers and just slam it? lol

This.

Don't blow money on the Bimmer just because you have it. If you really don't want it, then save your money, buy a 240, and do work. Although, I would daily the Bimmer and rock the 240 for weekend purposes, they aren't the best daily out there.

I had a 1995 bmw 328i and it was more of a money pit than my 240, it just depends on how bad your bmw is and do your research and take time to find a 240 that runs well. You will lose a lot of the little luxury stuff you take for granted on a bmw though. Oh and parts for a 240 are way way cheaper than bmw parts.

Im ordering coilovers soon cuz i got blown suspension its bad lol. they are cheap coilovers though im not ballin i dont got money like that lol and then after that im swapping the tranny found a decent kit on ebay all OEM thats pretty much the plan now.

Dude 240s are the perfect daily!!! I daily mine its on coils, wheels, etc and I love it!!!...Sell that Bimmer and get a S14 with low mileage if possible, S14's are less abused than 13's and you have a better chance of finding a clean S14 than a 13... Plus when you have enough money the tuning possibilities are endless, tons and tons of aftermarket parts for 240s.....
