I think you should post the rest of cars you have in your parking lot.
IMO: keep the Bimmer.

Nah, I dont think people want to see my 88 MR2 supercharge, 92 Celica all trac or my stock 92 civic hatch. Plus those don't fetch much money, so I am going to let them sit there and rot.

Seems obvious. CL has the worse resale rating of the two (mods or no mods) so sell it earlier.

I love the look of the bimmer with the M front and the shadow grill. Only thing is i know about 3 people with the current 3 series and some mileage and they all have wheel bearing problems and have other expensive problems.

BMW looks awesome, plus it's a 5-speed. You live in Cali, not too much snow to need front wheel drive, right? Sell the CL.

Woah..I'm surprised by the responses! Keep the CLS...it looks killer! The BMW looks hot as hell but the CLS is more modded. And like people have stated it has a better resale so sell it now and get the most money for it. unless you can get the right amount of money for the CLS otherwise keep it.

what condition is your 92 hatch? mileage?

i usually wouldnt say this, but id keep the cl over the bmw. not only because bmw's are as abudant as civics, but youve put so much in to the s/c 3.5 CL-S. youll get more for the bmw than you will for the cls, so it also depends on how much money youre needing/looking to get out of this sale.

pics of the all trac?

People may not want to buy the CL-S because of the engine swap. I would keep the CL only because BMW's are a dime a dozen and you have a killer CL-S in one of the best colors, Pimp Daddy Gold.

Yes, I have new rims on my car(my new business) . Both car bring a smile in my face, but my CL-S will killed my BMW in a drag race. My BMW have 48K and CL-S have 27K miles on them. Stripping the CL-S before selling it will take weeks and what if some one offer me peanuts for it after all those work?. I will definitely not sell my celica all trac it have 90Kmiles with new turbo and radiator. I am the 2nd owner of that car. The original owner is my buddy. I am also the 2nd owner of the 92 hatch and the original owner is also a friend. The hatch has 150K miles but it is in excellent condition in and out. The only non original part is the front bumper was repainted because of rocks chips. I own both car and looking at the autotrader and getting price form wholesale dealers, I think the BMW have a lower resale value than the CL-S. Yes, the CL will sell for less but the BMW cost a lot more when it is new. I think this sum up all the question for now.

Your 3 looks amazing.. but for the time and effort you have put in your CLS I would keep that... as said in the previous post... bimmers are a dime a dozen.... but your CLS with the mods you have done is truely unique... in short a class of its own...

As much as i like the look of the 328 i'd still say keep the CL and sell the BMW.

Either way you'll be driving a hot car.

I haven't taken my cl to the 1/4 mile track yet. The last time I did low 14's but it wasn't running right. Now it is fine :sneaky: . I went to the Irwindale Dragstrip and I only ran 8.922@81.84 with Yokohama ES100. It is a little faster with cheater slicks.

You will have to come to my house and remove it yourself. I have all the tools you need. Oh, don't forget to put my original engine back into my car.

I would keep the BMW.

As much as I love my CL-S6SC I enjoyed the driving feel of the BMW better. Had things been different at the time (known the last IVF attempt was going to work) I would not have traded my '01 CL-S for the '03 CL-S6.

I would have retained the BMW and added the AA blower:
