BUT if u have $15K for a budget..then u have a shyt load of options and could get a brand new car wit low miles wit that cash in hand...

I'm kinda stuck on getting an E46. The fact that they've already depreciated down a lot makes it a better deal to me. I'm keeping the integra in case I end up buying one that needs a bunch of work.

So far I've driven some early (2001) 325's, a 2002 330i sedan (loaded) 2004 330ci (loaded) and a basic 2004 330i ZHP 6M. My "must have" option is the sport package.
