Hi everyone
If you are faced with a choice of splashing your hard earned cash on one of these, both same colour (in & out) and have leather interiors & Media Pack Which will it be?
Car A:
(55) plate 530i M Sport so it is with the new 258 bhp and 19" Style 172 (I Think) Alloys. (15K miles)
It has the Start Button, i-pod Aux input as they were both introduced with (55) plate.
Car B:
(05) plate 530i M Sport with the older 231 bhp with Visibility pack, Luxury pack, Active steering, heated seats, folding mirrors, mats, sun protection glass, spoiler.
Car B is ?1000 more expensive than car A
Which will it be in your opinion.
Thanks

What's the mileage on B??
Both main dealer approved I presume?
A lot of it depends on your preference, do you want lots of toys, or do you want the more powerful engine? Xenon lights are great though!!

My Ride: 2004 530i stock.
2000 Jeep Wrangler non-stock =)
Well, for me at least, the two (or three) things that bother me about my 530i is that a) i wish i had the sport b) more power and c) anything but these fugly 17inch rims.
#1 for me.
I also wish i had the ipod plug-in now and heated seats...heh heh, never used them! As for the spoiler, i would make that a personal decision, there seems to be quite a few out there, some good, some bad.
As for the 172s, i like 'em if they aren't replicas.

Well I suppose my real answer, is neither!!
I spent 2 months trying to find my current car....I live in Plymouth, but travelled to a dealer in North Wales to get it!
I would wait until a better spec one comes along, it will eventually.

I'd go for the one with all the options as the performance of the new engine won't be that noticed by your everyday drive, but you get to enjoy all the toys all the time.
Also, you can always add the 19" alloys later if you want, whereas all the other options will cost the earth to retrofit IF at all possible.
Moreover, if you keep the car longer than 3/4 years, depreciation won't be a major issue (actually the older one would be better as all these toys will count for something)
