so i have always been a huge BMW fan and love my car. currently i drive a 2002 BMW 325i that is pretty much stock except for wheels, tires, tails, clear corners and sides, and tint. so basically it is stock. its a 5 speed. but its slow.

i have recently been entertaining the idea of selling to get another car. my first choice that is fairly probable is a Nissan 350Z.

the pros of the 350Z would be that it is a Nissan so it would be more reliable, maintenance would be cheaper, more power, its a sportier looking car, and so on and so on...

the cons to the z are that the prices are pretty low right now for the ones that i would be looking at and i am scared that it would keep dropping and not hold its value at all, it is 2 door and there is no backseat, it doesnt have the BMW emblems...

honestly i just dont know what i want to do. if i end up keeping my car, my next mods will be coilovers or a spring/shock combo, new wheels, exhaust, cai, front bumper, etc, etc...i really dont wanna do too many performance mods because it is only a 325 and no matter how much i do to it, it will still be slow, unless i sc it which i definitely dont have the money for. i would probably eventually do a nice swap for more power but not for a while until i have a job and am fairly well settled down.

anyone have any opinions?

here is a few pics of my car for reference:






TiA!
