Default I should have bought an SC.

When I was in the market, I looked at all sorts of cars. I signed up on here, and searched for GS400's, and SC300/400's. 5 months after purchasing my BMW...I want an SC.

There isn't much else to be said. I would just much rather be driving either an SC300 or SC400.

Pictures of said E39.

Hm. Sorry for posting it in the wrong section.

If I were in a position financially where I was able to...oh trust me, I would.


However, I am not.

If you paid cash, sell it. Or trade it.

Thats a nice BMW. I'm in the same position as you. I want an 850i but I bought an SC instead. I'm gonna keep the SC though and buy a BMW when I get a better job.

+1, or trade it in. I really dont see a problem. I mean, the BMW is nice, but all do respect...the SC should've been the only thing to look at if you really wanted one.

In reliability, but that's pretty much it

I love my SC, but it's an incredibly boring car to drive. Your BMW is really nice, but I can see how you would want a change if it's not the M5. My brother had a '95 525i and that thing was 10X more fun to drive because of the way it felt and handled. Sure I'd take my SC over it, but after my girlfriend whooped me in her '05 330ci, I couldn't help but to crave an M5 even more

I'll give you two thousand dollars for the BMW, then you can afford to buy an SC.

Problem solved.
