I forgot to mention,
The wheels have a total of 7500 miles driven on it since I got them back in Spring of 2008.
And Coilovers have about 9500 miles on it. I'm still thinking about selling this because I dont know if its worth it to take off and put stock suspension back on.
Let me know if anyone is interested in Bilstein Pss10 coilovers.
You must have the stock shocks available so i can take off my suspension hand it over to you first. =)

Ya'll forgot the 12k loan i have left to pay for the car.... 
(I forgot to mention it, and I still need to buy a daily 4 door sedan car to drive)
(I forgot to mention it, and I still need to buy a daily 4 door sedan car to drive)It's a bold move man, and its going to be very hard doing it too. No need to put out money for a less expensive new car when you already got a car.
If I were you, I'll just sell the mods. I'm sure it should cover a nice size rock and the rest you can worry about when it gets closer to the time.

I agree with AKAlius. Keep the car at least... its commonly quoted that people spend about 2 months salary for an engagement ring, though it's not a set rule. Not sure about your financial situation, but the wheels alone at $4k should be on average 1 months salary...which means you're halfway there!

Regardless of how much you spend on the ring/rings... GET THEM INSURED!!!

Can't keep the car without any mods man. No way! 
There's no way I would drive a stock E60.

Hell no I wouldn't spend 2 months salary!!! You know how much that is?!?!?! If I had spent that much on the ring my wife would've killed me then returned the ring for the $$$$$, she doesn't spend that kind of $$$ on silliness (another reason why I married her 
)

So a Honda is better than a stock E60? :thumbsdown:
Dont twist the words!!!!
This is considering I keep the E60, which I cannot afford to anymore. =/
And buying a honda, so I dont have to care about it and she'll be driving it too. Unless anyone has some ideas I can make an easy 30k in cash right now, then i wouldn't sell anything. LOL.

I still don't get this. If you sell all your mods, you'll get about $10K which, if you shop intelligently, can get you a really really nice ring.
I think from your prior post that you have about $12K left to pay on the E60 so how is buying a Honda saving your more money unless you're getting a beater??
And no, I'm not letting this slide Mike. Friends don't let friends sell off their mods, their nice E60, to buy an overrated ring, and buy a Honda. LOL!!
