Default Maybe trading the tC

So I'm thinking about trading the tC in for a BMW 325i that came in this morning. The car is super clean. It's an 02 with 28k miles. My payment and insurance would hardly go up. However, I'm having serious anxiety issues with this. Thoughts please.

I feel you. I feel like trading my car in too but it's a little nerve racking. Don't know if I'd regret it or not.

I'm interested in this:

BUT! If I were going to trade my tC in for a BMW it wouldn't be a 3 series. JMO. I'd keep the tC.

I wouldn't get the BMW but thats me. I personally would keep the tC. Its a Bad A$$ machine you got. so why get rid of it. just so you can own a bmw?? Well if you decide to get rid of your tC for the BMW you can take all of your performance Mods and put them on Whitney's tC. I'm sure she won't mind....

Keep the tC, it cost too much to repair a BMW.

OK. Stop the madness! I'm not trading. I drove the BMW and I was not impressed. My car is faster, and I should've known that. My cousin has a 525i. We raced about a month ago and I hung with him.

another thing about the 325 is that its the entry series, so its like people will know you got the cheapest model just so you can have a BMW. good decision sticking with the tC.

Haha! The 3 series was made so the 5 series wouldn't be bottom of the barrel. Okay, not really but that's how I look at it. If you're going to buy a BMW go big or go home.

Well, the BMW is a fine machine. RWD vs FWD. Obviously you'd have more fun with the beemer.

Insurance might actually be cheaper because it's probably classified as a safer vehicle.

The BMW is engineered for driving excellence and fun. The tC.... well just fun.

Those are my two cents!
