If you did trade-in ...

If you were to trade-in, what is that 1 car you would want?




Me: E90 BMW 3 Series Coupe (maybe Sedan). Pretty sure that will be my next car.

I just wish my TL was RWD or AWD.
It feels so bad to have a car this sporty with FWD

wait wait wait WAIIIT. You had an 08 TL then wanted to go to a 528xi?

Nice choice with the 2012 TL Tech Pack w/SH-AWD. Way better decision.

I would tell you if you can wait just wait it out to see what line up of cars will be coming out between 2012 -2014 then if there's nothing newer you are interested in look on the bright side anything you a currently interested in now will cost less and still be a upgrade.

But if you just can't wait then get what ever it is u def want because you only live once.

Well, I could not afford a 2012+ BMW in the near future. Maybe in 2020 when it is older.


I still really like the E46 M3. They still go for $18-23k.


I mean, Look at it !!

i have no issue with that car that's a hot car . I just commented on Mr_raja's post talking about going from a TL to a 528. I myself would never do that. If i am going to BMW from a TL i can't do anything less than a 335/535.But now that car

I traded in my TL for a new Accord.

Really wanted a 1 series but for the price of a used BMW, I bought a new Honda.

Before i got my 11 TL i looked at BMW's also and for what i payed for my 11 with 5miles on it was the price of 3 year old bm's with 40K miles on it.

Yea until I'm making $65k a year, hopefully that'll be in the next 3-4 years , I can't afford a new BMW.

I honestly don't think i would pay BMW what they want for their cars before looking at other companies. I say "don't think" because i can't say what i would do if i had the money to do it but i would def do some comparing first.

Samething as always: C5 Z06 or E46 M3. The TL's value is still high enough here that I can get a close-to-equal trade in. Love my car, but I want something to have some fun in Mexico with.

If i had to trade-in today, i would pick up brand new accord coupe v6 in white with navi, 6 speed manual. We no longer need 2 4 door cars and sadly Acura has nothing that is even remotely appealing and interesting anymore.

Haha... Yeah bud, I was looking at a 2009 CPO 528xi with Premium and Sports Package, new was out of the question, didnt, and still dont, have 60k on me. The 2009 was costing me about 36k OTD, with 32k miles. Went to an Acura dealer in VA, talked to the guy, ended up paying 40k OTD for my TL, with only 21 miles on it.

Besides, with all honesty, I did not like the interior of BMW. It was way to dated and odd. Truly its a driver's car, not a passenger's car. But I think my TL isnt too far off from the 528xi either.... I am glad I went that way.

Nothing out there at present that appeals to me within my budget. Will hold on to the TL-S for now, and agree with TRIUMPHT on the future line-up of cars in the upcoming years. Will wait until then.

When I looked at my 3G TL I considered the following cars. E90 328xi, G37 sedan and Lexus IS250. I actually almost bought the 328xi but it was sold while we we were negotiating so I ended up getting my TL from the same bmw dealer.

I regret not waiting. If I had known the TL gets me 18 MPG I would have gone for the G37 sedan right away. If I were to trade the Tl in today I would only trade it for 3 cars. E90 335i, Audi A4 B8 or a G37 Sedan. Nothing else interests me.

I am sorry but the 528xi blows the 2012 TL out the water. The 2012 TL is a nice car but its not in the league with the 5 series. Not sure if the OP was looking at the F10 or the E60 but either way both of them>2012 TL. Maybe not in terms of performance....but everything else is much better.

The leather, the nav, the build quality, the ride, the handling, the transmission, etc.

That's cool glad you are happy. Newer car less mileage waaaay more power better interior can't go wrong with that.

I have not heard anybody agree with that yet except you. Even BMW owners have said the interior in the BMW looks outdated. As a matter of fact even in this thread.

Every thread i have seen comparisons about the 5 to the TL or any car to the TL people never really have a gripe with the interior mainly the exterior and lack of performance than some of the competitors.

But to each his own i won't be paying 50K starting to get a car that my 3G TL i traded in could out perform my current 4G can out perform and has nicer interior and in my opinion has a nicer more futuristic exterior just because it's a BEAMER.

I love my 4th gen TL but if i could go back i would've kept my 3rd gen TL saved my money and waited for the new model cars to come out. Because with everything going on and all the new technologies coming out and all the car companies competing for a dollar i think there are going to be some crazy cars coming out over the next five years.

those are all YES cars i feel comfortable spending money on something that actually makes sense. Not to knock anybodies preference or likes but ->IMO<- specifying In My Opinion i think for the money anything BMW with 28 on the end ex 328/528 is a waste of money just as IMO IS250 or the G25.For what they charge for those cars.

I tell people all the time "As enthusiasts we get bored fast and nothing is ever enough". I can guarantee there is somebody in the world right now with a car we all dream of that is saying "I'm actually getting tired of the ___ now. Looking into an _________ but I still love the ____."
LOL
