Purchase issue - 57 R27 or 09 197 Lux

Car  e60 M5 -172- dciheid
Interesting pickle:-

Stats are....

197 R27
  • Nimbus (nice)
  • 12k miles
  • + xenons
  • 57 reg
09 197 lux
  • Gloss White
  • 6k miles
  • full leather guff etc
  • 09 reg
cost between the 2 is circa £1000.
I will keep the car for 3 years, which is the better investment?
 
R27 has Recaros does it not?

R27 is nimbus, which is an EPIC colour.

197 Lux has no cup pack??
 
R27 all day everyday, nimbus > white

full leather sucks too

R27 all day long, I think over time the differential in price between the 2 will slowly decrease- the 09 will always be worth more, but probably not as much-

Id be looking for the nimbus for around 10.7k for bargain money-

Do you drive like you stole it all the time?

I would go for the Lux. Probably rarer than a R27 and white is a very popular colour.

Nimbus is the best colour though. I would know :D

White is no good! Living in Scottyland it will be covered in shite 24/7.

And its got leather, which is for girls.
 
If it was a different colour yer but i feel white is getting old now, to many people want the white and black trend.
 
197 lux 'facelift'? Dunno, its not a 200 if thats what you mean?!?!
:lolup:

All i know about the R27 is its nr 319 with xenons and 12k miles, going up for a look at it. Looked at the white lux last week, just returned from finance company, still got 2 years warranty. 57 warranty will be running out this year.

Beef - i think the 200 is still pretty rank, but im told from a few folk its a great handling car, just detest its pugugly front end and I do believe it will struggle for sales when new RS is out next year.
 
I love the R27s, but I'd have the one that's two years newer because of the warranty.

Nimbus isn't my favourite colour anyway.

The lux gets my vote.
 
i'd go with the LUX tbh. all dependent if i liked the leather or not.
