current e39 owner considering e90 purchase

joeygambino · 01-10-2010, 11:29 PM

I am currently an e39 (03 530i) owner. and my current car is on its last legs

And I was seriously considering purchasing an e90 this year. But the salesman said that the new model will be out within a year and so if buy one now the price of it will drop.

Should one wait until the next generation car comes and buy new one or pull the trigger on the current?

Also, how much different/same is the e90 compared to the e39? Is it still going to handle and drive the same, what can I expect in terms of performance.

Depends on whether your talking about a 328 or a 335, what options and whatnot. The e90 had a face lift this past year so the looks are different the the earlier models. You could wait for the next model to come out but if you want one, go for it. You can probably get an 09' for a steal.

I'd go ahead and pull the trigger. You could get it for a great deal. I'd get a 335 over a 328. For just a few thousand over the cost 328 you get 70 more horses. Trust me, it's totally worth it. I absolutely love mine.
