    1999 740iL 6MT with lots of Dinan pieces or 1999 540i 6MT Dinan car

    I need some help, I can't keep both and I have to make a decision very soon. As the title states I have to choose between the two and the only other information I have is:
    *1999 740il, 127k, black on black, fairly clean for its age completely original
    *1999 540i 6MT Dinan S, 190k+, silver on black, exterior is super clean interior is rough

    Would it be more beneficial to take all that is good from the Dinan and make a killer 740il? Or would it make more sense to bring back the Dinan car with its mileage?

    I’d keep the car you like more. A friend had a 740il 6 speed with M5 LSD and S62 and it was pretty cool. I personally would not want the bigger car. An E39 is big enough for me and I am in the drivers seat not sitting in the back seat enjoying the extended wheel base. Plus E39 is lighter and probably stiffer so it should be higher performance. I like performance.
