Advise: Swap my E46 330i for a R53 Cooper S

[moranor@axis]

i seriously dont get this you swapping a classy near perfect car for a jumped up econo box with retro styling... the two are polar opposites you must be skitzo :rollsmile:

Ha ha ha, Goodluck with you decision, both are fantastics cars. No matter what you choose, it will still have a BMW soul.

330i ftw!!!

You know the Mini has a Peugeot engine??:yuck:
That said, I loved the dynamics and nimble handling. I like the mini very much indeed.
Something else you should consider: last time you told me that you specifically got the 330 in auto because you are sitting in heavy traffic every day.
The Mini would suck in auto.

I had exactly the same thought this morning driving to work. I've taken the "lazy auto" for granted and I don't think the Cooper S would be ideal ...

Agree - a Cooper S in auto is pointless. Manual would have been the only option.

Dont do it!

Dude don't do it :nonono:

If you are selling.. Ill be interested in the 330i.
Do it! Fulfill your urge! Chase your desire! Scratch your itch!
All in the name of motoring.
2nd option on the individual :fencelook:

 

[Sankekur]

Keep the 330i and swap it to manual, will be a whole new machine for you to enjoy :rollsmile:

You have one of the best looking individuals around, you are not allowed get rid of it :mmm: the counsel has spoken :grin:

 

[e46monk3y]

+1 - I agree with most of everyone here too 330i FTW :grin:

but if you do decide to get the Mini I'll be very keen to buy the e46 off you :=):

 

[Henry330i]

Have you grown tired of the 330i or is this Mini debacle just an itch.

Has it crossed your mind to maybe trade the e46 for a e90 330i Individual.
