Default Fixin up

I got money saved away about 3gs. My 95 Accord has a 2000 prelude engine in it, with clear all around, 17s rims, coilovers, white interior upgrade, sound system, etc. I wanted to ask ya'll what i should do with the money. Should i keep investing it in my accord or save the money as a down payment on a newer car like a BMW? What would ya'll do?

I truely dont see a reason to invest gobs of money into an Accord unless you will be racing it in a car-specific event. So I suggest save up for bigger and better things. A house sounds nice. And so does an S2000 or BMW.

Thats what my cousins says i should do, save up for a better car. What type of BMW is the best beside the M3? I just like the style of the 3 series but dont know anything about their models. What type of BMW would ya'll get?

Thats a very relative question. It all depends. If you like the 3-series, the next best OEM car is the 330xi which is AWD. BMW has a large tuner following. These companies are AC Schnitzer, Hamann, Alpina(?), Dinan (being the biggest one), Hartge, and Racing Dynamics. Do a search of BMW on supercars.net and you will see some stats (which are not always correct) of these tuned BMW's.

a car does not make for good collaterall when buying a house but a house makes for good collateral for a car.

Im only 21. I long to own a house in another 5-10 years. Ill be traveling to another university out of city, in another year or two. So im not looking into buying a house right now. Thanks for ya'll suggestions. I think i either look into getting a BMW or a 98 TT Supra if i can find one for under 25g's.

I want to be able to invest it more until i own the car which will be by next year. But theres almost nothing left to do to it, to be different from everyone. Everyone got the same setup. I want to be able to appear in a mag someday like Super Street but what do i have to do to get that?
