I am more of an N/A guy and if you want tuning advice, the other members will help you better. :wink:
If you are going to buy the BMW, avoid imports, though you might find some great deals. I don't really recommend buying anything more than 10 years old.
The Maxima commands high insurance so if you are ready to pay, then I guess its a good choice. Its hard to find an unabused one, but not impossible. Personally, I would go for the Maxima.

Nissan Maxima (99-01) is a good choice otherwise Bmw 5-series is also not bad .............. Actually it depends what are your requirements ........... Lets see what others say

If you want simplicity go for Maxima
A little complexity go for 5 series

chk this maxima out for sale ..only 15K ..i think that maxima has comparitively low consumption than those old beemers ..their engine which is not in gud condition will take more petrol than the maxima.. i would prefer you going for a maxima.. (Y)
