What should i keep, my F430 is expensive to run, and i like the way my E30 drives. What would you do, sell E30 or keep the F430. My E30 is a 318i lux with 109.000 miles, the F430 has only done 2300 miles.

I think we are talking scalectrix (sp?), hot wheels rarely make models of real cars for artistic licence reasons. :D

Unless the 318 is an I.S. then there's no competition...

Hard choice. Personally i would sell the E30 but with the proceeds slam the F4030, stick a nice set of Alpina reps on and put a couple of tastefully place M badges on it. But hey, its your car, your decision.

Why not shove the low milage Ferrari engine into the E30 and get the best of both?

Sell them both and buy an E30 M3 Sport Evo :D

Or sell the F430 and put an S50 or S62 into the cab along with some other tasty bits with the proceeds.

It will go like the F430 by the end of it yet you won't look like a dick in a ferrari :roll:

Shouldn't you be posting this on the 430 owners forum? But then I'm sure they'd disown you if they knew you'd even been considering this?!

To be fair, I was having a tough choice this morning deciding whether I should take the Pinzgauer to the shops or something cheaper to run, so I can understand your dilemma ;)
