What new toy to get?

crazydrummer · 03-01-2012, 03:53 PM

Hey guys, i'm in need of some opinons form fellow enthusiasts...

I'm about to sell my 2011 250r ninja (used it to get around collge) and take the money and buy something else fun. I currently have an 09 e90 m3 that is my car.

Going to sell the bike for ~3k and then put in another 2k or so for a budget of about $5k. Heres what i'm thinking

Option A: Take that and get a nice 06-07 600cc gsxr or other bike

Option B: Find a old e36 m3, buy it to fix it up/daily drive so I don't put as many miles on the e90 m

Option C: Keep saving and mod the e90 m (prob everything but SC) or save for just an SC

Probably thinking option B at the moment. It'll be old, cheap, and still a fun M. Any reccomendations?

E36 M3 ftw! That would be my choice.

yakev724 · 03-01-2012, 05:15 PM

e36 could be too tempting to pour money into.

I'd personally pick up an E30 to work on, specifically 90-91 318is. Have a look around r3vlimited and e30tech.

E36 M3!!!

GammaZeta · 03-01-2012, 06:34 PM

No question, E30 or E36 M3.

Save the miles, dings, dents, scrapes, worries on your E90.

how about a z3 Mcoupe or mroadster.

$5k is not going to get you an e36 M3. If it does it will need a lot of money put into it.

Go with the bike, CBR600RR.

MSPORTWORLD · 03-02-2012, 07:23 AM

Easy get a brand new S1000RR!

+1
Going to cost you MUCH more than your budget allows.
Mod you e90 and enjoy it! Why do you have it if you want to "save" it for someone else.

Invest it in driving schools and track days. Or a 125cc shifter kart.

miiipilot · 03-02-2012, 11:16 AM

Get a new bike.

krnnerdboy · 03-02-2012, 01:01 PM

buy my s1000rr to match your m3

I'll take 5k down and payments

JK

honestly save your money...just bc you have it doesn't mean you need to spend it...or pay down your m3 principle and just enjoy it. Seriously it's just an m3, and they depreciate with time or money....take that from a man with 3 cars and a bike and regrets spending nearly 20k in car taxes last year
