About a week and a half ago I posted that I was going to purchase an E38 (2001 740iL with Sport Package). So, what would you rather have ... two E34 tourings (525iT and 530iT) or one E38?

I'd rather have a E38 750iL and a E34 540i. But among those options, probably the 740.

Why not keep all three??

If I kept all three I would never drive the E38. I would sit in my darn garage, waxed perfectly, with a high dollar car cover on it and almost never see the road. I need to have "only" two (one for me, one for the wife) so it "forces" me to use the car.

Sound crazy?

E38 740iL Sport is nice but "L" is too long. I rather have 740i Sport instead. And keep ONE of the E34! ;)

both e34 Tourings... especially since the e38 is silver and not black.

I guess I can see your point. What I would do is drive one on Monday and the other on Tuesday.

Personally, I would keep the 525iT because it is easier to work on then the M60. I find my 528i a lot easier to work on because there is more room in the engine bay. For the power though, the 530iT would be a keeper.

But the E34 Tourings are not Black either.:)

There is nothing wrong with Alpine white :) I really wish my E34 was Alpine white sometimes. Black cars in the summer tend to get real hot inside, lol.

E38 is nice but it feels a bit too big for my liking

I love the luxury but personally I get way more excitement from driving an e34

excitement? Turning off the DSC, dropping it to S2, and flooring it in an e38 is a ton of excitement.

keep the e38 but i agree with purchasing a 540i. the e38 is for businessmen or snobby families :p , you cant have fun in an e38 like you can in a 540i.

If I had an M5, I would be divorced because the wife would never see me! Then again, if I ever became divorced, I would buy an M5!
