been offered to get my old motor back for the second time,lovely 525 Sport 70k FSH,but still unsure what to do, he's willing to swap for my touring which i love the look off, unsure what to do, What do u think

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 3:51 pm**

I'd keep the touring

looks better and probably worth more

I do love the look of your touring

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 3:53 pm**

Personally, I'd take the 5.

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 3:55 pm**

Touring purely because I dont like the look of the old 5s - I dont think its iconic, classic - whatever you want to call it - I think they look like big underpowered buses.

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 3:58 pm**

From a value perspective the touring is probably worth more now and in the future. The 525 will end up in the low £100s as it's not a desirable model.

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 4:11 pm**

Keep the Touring. No question.

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 4:41 pm**

525's are 10 a penny and worth not much more then scrap value.

A calypso touring is a rare thing from what ive read on here there are only 3 in this country so if it was me i would keep the e30.

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 5:34 pm**

Thats a very tidy 525i sport with Alpina's. I'd got with that.

thats the thing its so clean you could say its immaculate,and my touring needs a few things to be sorted,its a difficult decission suppose to be exchanging on wednesday

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 6:25 pm**

The touring is far more desirable than the 5. Although the 5 looks cool, it isn't as practical or as much fun to drive generally. Far more comfortable though I suppose.

I couldn't give that calypso touring away.

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 6:34 pm**

I agree Atta, I think I would miss the Touring a lot more. Just bung an M50 into the Touring

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 6:35 pm**

touring

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 7:55 pm**

Yeah, I like E34s but I like that touring of yours a lot more! It was up for sale for a bit a while ago, yeah? I remember being tempted!!

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 8:04 pm**

I,d be asking myself " why does he want to swap ", and i don,t mean there must be something
wrong with the 525
Think you,d miss the Touring more than he,d miss the 5.
Both very nice looking cars though.

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 8:10 pm**

I've got both and i can say i like the feel of the e30 over the e34 even though its done 3 x as many miles and looks like ray charles parked it

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 8:13 pm**

I've got both too, which is why I fancy the 525 engine in the E30

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 8:15 pm**

Is the 5 for sale and if so - how much does he want for it?

The only reason he's getting rid as he can use this for his tropical fish business ,saves him buying an extra vehicle,
Got to say the 525 is more comfortable,and does drive a dream.
Saying that love the tourer,and if i do let it go i know I'll be in

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 8:18 pm**

Swap it for the silver auto Atta

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 8:18 pm**

Saying that my AC Schnitzer S3 2.7 will be ready in the next couple of months

If he doesn't do the deal with me ,he's going to put it up for £2500

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 8:23 pm**

Its a tuff one but not always down to how much money you can make. Bet your heart is saying e30 and head is saying 525.

Good luck with your decision fella.

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 8:27 pm**

Get the Sport and ask this question on a 5 series forum

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 8:37 pm**

Alpinas!!!!

Oof, a bit steep that (this is not meant as a derisory remark however), not many e34's go for that much.

That being said - they're both great cars, at the end of the day is what YOU like best and what suits your needs.

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 10:54 pm**

bloody hell ata how many cars have you got?

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 11:35 pm**

Depends what donk the Touring has?

The E34 does look clean but a 525i is not a highly desireable model and it wont be going anywhere quickly @ £2.5K IMO...

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 11:39 pm**

very hard choice, i think i would end up with that touring though just because of the rarity, it would need 24v though

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 11:43 pm**

Is that touring a 316i?

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 11:43 pm**

318i i think

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 11:45 pm**

If it is then the E34's value is probably higher, rare colour or not!

Posted: **Fri Mar 12, 2010 11:48 pm**

Ata i know your trying to sell the touring, why dont you contact Old colonels i recon they would offer you a good price for it
