Need your opinions on which BMW to get
Since this is a BMW forum I thought you guys would help me out.
Cars I am looking at... 2001 E38 740i or 740iL (With Sport Pkg) 2002-03 E39 540i 1996-99 E36 M3 Tell me what you would choose and for what reason, also if you have any suggestions I am more than willing to look into them. My max budget is about 12K. Thanks for your help. |

None of the above. I'm not sure you're going to get much value for a $12,000 used BMW.

Dude just look around, this is very doable. And to all the others thanks for your opinions, I just wish I had more money then I would have all three. M3 for weekends, 540i for weekdays and 740li for trips

540, unless you can get a nice, not ragged-out, E36 M3.

On one end of the spectrum you have a 7 series (luxury) while on the other you have an M3 (sport). Therefore the only logical choice is the middle ground 540i as it blends them both together.

540 for a daily drive or the M3 for the weekends...depends on your plans.

m3....get the sedan if space is necessary. 12 k will get you one in real good condition.
