My next vehicle is going to be something I've wanted for a LONG time, an E36 M3, most likely a '95 due to the lack of traction control among other things

I was going to sell my Silverado and use that money for the M3. I'm slowly putting new parts into the Silverado so it's working well when I sell it. With my lack of free time, I don't see the Silverado being ready for sale 'til late this year at the earliest, maybe over winter break when I have some time again. My Jeep has been acting up on my lately (Stranded me a couple times over the past 2 weeks, not to mention 12-14 MPG on a good day), and it's my current DD. I also have a Honda VFR800 Interceptor which I LOVE, and it works great, not one issue. However, I'm in need of a reliable DD, and as the weather starts to turn cooler, the worse it'll be for me to ride the bike. So, I'm faced with a decision...

Should I sell my beloved VFR to pick up an E36, then get another VFR once I sell my truck during winter? Or do I try to stick it out, get the truck fixed, and sell that for the M3?

This is me just thinking out loud and I'm always open to opinions.

EDIT: Screw it... I have had 4 and 5 vehicles at once before, I'll just go take out a loan lol, then sell the truck when I can.

im not sure how tst is qualified to make this decision for you. why dont you try to see if you can get what you want for your bike? if you cant get it then dont sell it.

TST won't be making the decision. I just don't mind outside opinions on things like this. Someone may mention something I wasn't even thinking about, ya know?

would you beable to buy an m3 with the money you sell the bike or truck for? how much do you think you will get for them?

Put all 3 up for sale, stay firm on prices. Whatever sells first goes first. That what I do usually.

Yes. One of my good friends owns a used car dealer and specializes in BMW's. He can get me a good deal on one. The VFR can go for anywhere from $4,000 to $6,000 (it really depends on the market as you know), and same for the truck, $4,000 to $10,000 for that.
