2002 BMW 540I VS 2003 BMW 330Ci vs 2003 Range Rover HSE...What to buy?

[jkickz1334]

Sister is looking to upgrade her car. These are her options, what do yall suggest? I know Range's are not the most reliable, but I love that look. And bothBimmer's are classy...any owners?

330ci...you dont need the V8 bimmer or the SUV gas prices are on the rise again.

Looked into the 540i recently...reliable but most of the usual problems with it are expensive...330ci not too familiar with it but heard nothing but positivesfrom that gen and you can expect the usual BMW cost to fix little nuances in the car...03 Range Rover old body style and works best with/as a second car andthey're updating the body style again so its 2-generations old...wanted one hell still want one but know I can't until I can afford it as/with aanother car...

whatever you do dont get the range

330ci.... girls look good in 3-series bimmers.

330 was my first car, I loved it.

330ci can look sooo clean with just a few mods, get that. 540i was a nice whip but it's very dated now.

Range Rover = what I drive now and I hate it. No fun at all.

A black range rover is crack

 

[jkickz1334]

Why do you hate the Range? I drive a lot of them at work and they seem sooo smooth. Than again the BMW's are just as fun.

The BMW she wants, or 540I is right here - M Sport Package, SS Exhaust, etc.

I like sports cars, it is a nice SUV though for those who like bigger cars.

But Ranges are so unreliable, an 03 will be super high-mileage and will be a huge headache when it comes to maintenance. Stick with the BMWs.

 

[jkickz1334]

Yeah the 2004 Range she's lookin at has 89,000 miles.....eh...only 15,000 bucks though, clean looking car.

Dont buy a used BMW unless it still has warranty on it and /or you have extra cash for service...

my brother had a Range and it just gave him trouble. His was under warranty. He told me one day "Jay, when this ^&%(& warranty is up...I am out ofthis crap." I used some lighter words for NT purposes. He bought an Infiniti Q56 and loves it.

RANGE...im eyeing one right !!! '03 for $12.5

 

[jkickz1334]

Damn, 12,500???


Pics or link?

 

[krazyl3gz]

12.5 for a reason...

 

[Lizakers]

if the 330 is a coupe, then yes

otherwise, by it anyways

i have a '05 trust me.....e46 FTW

 

[chris boshs neck]

get a g35 and save yourself the trouble and headaches

 

[ghostwriter]

Whatever you get, the maintenance is gonna be expensive.

 

[ac4three]

BMW 330ci. No question...

QFT But if its only between those three, 2003 330ci > 2003 Range Rover HSE (which would be 1st if it wasnt for gas) > 2003 540i

 

[airjordanvi]

Get the 3 Series

 

[jordan supreme]

Do NOT get the Range... They're a mechanical nightmare.

i'd go with the BMW 330ci.

 

[jkickz1334]

I already have a G35...sister isnt wanting the same car as me..maybe a 350Z though for her
