Dilemma (archive)

Well, it's finally time to retire my twenty year-old Chevrolet daily driver (my significant other drives the 735i on a regular basis). I have been looking at 93-94 five-speed 325i E36s but, with all the talk recently about the turbine-smooth 750iL, it is possible to pick up a 91-92 750iL for about the same cost, usually with less miles. I did drive a couple of 750iLs before buying the 735i four years ago but the potential maintenance costs scared me. I really want to drive a stick-shift again on a daily basis but the 750iL does have the 12-cylinder appeal.

So, what does the collective think? A 91-92 750iL or a 93-94 325i (or a close-ratio five-speed and a REALLY nice paint job for the '02)?

Regards
