Hmmmmm....I could pick up a 3.2 M3 motor for about $2500-3000, some chipping/intake/exhaust/suspension and end up with a $5K 300 hp toy....
I would buy that in a second knowing how well my 308k mileage 325i has driven over the last 100k. Shocks and a bit of clean-up and maybe an AC recharge, and it wouldbe likely good to go as a fun daily driver.
