Hey all,

My 3 series is starting to go and I'm looking to trade it in for a new ride before I get something major that is wrong with it.  

I'm considering either trading it in for something sporty or trading it in for a truck and then grabbing a sport bike.

​Keep monthly payments to $600 a month or less for your suggestions. 

Just looking for ideas on rides to check out.  Thanks for the suggestions.

where do you live? if you get a legit winter, i would go with the RAM, if you live in a warm part that doesnt get real snow, i would go with a camaro SS, or chally RT, hell even a 5.0 is sexy when you put your own little taste in it

like i said tho, gotta take where you live into consideration
 
Not to hi-jack your tread, but didnt want to clutter the GB with a similar request. I'm also looking into a used truck. Tahoe, older 4runner etc. For anyone that lives in a city and has to parallel park. How difficult of a task is this?
 
I used to have an F150 RX4 and I loved it. I've also always wanted a Tahoe, so I would recommend either of those.

If you live in a city with clearly defined parallel parking spots, then it shouldn't be too hard. However, if your city doesn't have lines marking the parallel spots, then it will be next to impossible finding a spot big enough. The problem is that often times people leave way too much space between their car and the car in front and back, so you end up with parallel parking spots that are way to small for a truck.

was a valet for a lil minute, paralleled most huge SUVs, trucks, even a 15 passenger van on several occassions, real talk, side mirrors do most of the work as far as getting close to the curb, if you cant eyeball a spot and tell whether or not your truck can fit, then you need to practice in an empty lot, or not get a truck

lol would be nice but I'm pretty sure that is more than $600 a month.  I may just take the chance and wait another 2 years because by then I'll be able to get something beastly but it's a risk of something expensive breaking on a car I'm already planning on ditching.

No worries.  I would have tried to the car thread but i'm banned from it.  You might want to try asking your question there it gets a lot of action.

From a truck person's perspective, they're just huge and look horrible. Sure they have power but that sacrifices gas mileage and stuff like that. They just don't have the reliability that Toyota trucks have.

Tacomas give you a good balance of power and ability to customize while still maintaining a good gas mileage and they last forever. Have a great resell value if you ever pay it off and wanna resell.

Tundras are Toyota's power truck. Things are straight beasts from the starting line.

Or even the new 4Runners look straight evil and I was in a 2014 model the other day goin down some trails and the amount of features on those things are sick.

Throw a TRD package on either of those models, they'll outshine a Ram any day of the year IMO. Then again, I'm a Toyota / Chevy guy.

Ford or Dodge aren't my fancy.

The only Dodge Ram that I would recommend is the Diesel. Because, well.. Diesel. :lol:
 
OP, do you live somewhere that gets more than 15in of snow a year? If not, I'd say go with a nice car.

The BMW M235i should be within that $600 price range if you want to keep driving German. The Hellcat Challenger might work too, depending on your credit. I mean, $600/Mo gives you a lot of options. (This is assuming you're not including insurance in that $600 figure.)

If you want a truck, go with the F150. Ram is cool and all, but the interior is super cheap, and coming from a BMW it'll be super obvious and probably an eyesore IMO. The newer Tahoes are nice tho. If you're not set on a pickup and want the benefits of a truck without as many downsides (interior, seating, etc) the Tahoe might be a great choice. Would definitely work well with a motorcycle combo in the summer.

Don't sleep on Honda/Toyota either. The Tundra is nice, and the Honda Pilot/Ridge line aren't too bad either. (

I think the older hemi models had transmission problems. That, and the interior on Rams is just :x

Snow wise it depends on the year.  I live in metro NY.  This past winter was brutal but other winters we only get dustings.  I'm not worried about doing a winter with a car as long as it has all wheel drive though.  My BMW has been fine in the snow. 

You really are tempting me with that M235i....I think I'll have to talk to someone about that when I go to pick up my car.  0-60 in 4.3 seconds

Out of curiousity, would a fast car or a decked out truck really benefit you in NY?
