I stopped by the BMW dealer this morning ...

Now, I would never get a the 35 twin turbo motor -- unless I wanted to spend obscene money on maintenance. Isn't that what the 993 is for?

All I will say is that if you don't do the trade-in then you have to sell the car. Which means dealing with the phone-calls, no-shows, tire kickers and general b-essers - so for me the trade-in would be worth the avoidance of headaches. It's still a buyers market out there.

If you can live without a BMW and the electronic goodies, and are going to check out the below, look into the Subaru Forester turbo. They are reliable and easily modified as they share many parts with the WRX and STi. They can be turned into pretty sporty machines and you can still have your high seats and cargo room.
