I had been planning on paying around 33k on a new TL in June, but I have held off to wait for the 05 TL's. Well now my uncle who is a dealer said I can go with him to the Manheim auto auction (largest exotic car auction in the world) next month. So I plan on spending about 28 or 29k on a used 04 TL or an 02 or 03 BMW 330ci. Both car have their pros and i'm torn on what to get...anyone have any advice; which would you choose

Update: soooo, i made my choice :)

2003 Z4 3.0i

ya i know it's not what I asked about but I test drove one today and it was awesome. 0-60 in 5.6 seconds and so much fun to drive. anyways thanks for the help and i'll post some pics after i pick one up from the auction :) :) :)

TL.

Newer. Bigger. More than likely much lower operational costs over the course of ownership.

BMW. Then again, I have a fetish for most things German.
As much as I love my Acura, my next car is probably going to be a BMW.

Hmm, Freshly redesigned TL platform with a juicy 270HP (fwd though :(), or an aged to perfection 3 Series?


I like the TL in this one :)

I can't even believe the poll results. Given the 2 choices, I would get the BMW no question about it. In that price range though, I would get the G35C. A friend of mine just bought a black 6sp w/leather and premium package and it is PIMP.

Right there with Vic... the BMW is a real sports coupe and hands down the better looking car of the two... A 330ci is in my near future but I must admit I have been tempted by the G35c too...

I own a 2004 TL. It's fabulous. Buy the beemer if you want to show off to your friends. Buy the TL if you actually want to enjoy your car everyday.
