Trying To Decide Between Two Cars-HELP

alright my truck is almost sold, i have a few buyers, and one guy is about to buy it in a week or two.

I have found two cars, both 2003 BMW M3's. Each have pros and cons to each. And need some peoples opinions.

A) http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=200675
Pros: only 25K Miles, in perfect condition, and i like exterior, interior colors.
Cons: Almost Bone Stock, 2 Grand more than this one,

B) http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=553819
Pros: 2 grand less than other one ( guy is doing 28,000) has about 4K in mods, all the mods are ones id be doing to my M3 if i bought the other one, Black is what i want in color more so, and i like the cinnamon leather the best also. recently had all injectors and fluids replaced, as well as re timing of all valves.

Cons: almost double the mileage, but isnt too bad considering its a 5 year old car, which translates to about 10K miles a year. Still has 48,700 miles on it though. My truck has 43, i drive 1200 miles a month, so its only about 4 months ahead of driving schedule

I like B. That car was actually driven. My two year old truck has almost the same miles as the first car that's five years old.

ye but thats the thing, B was ACTUALLY DRIVEN, alot of miles on a m3, and its a sport car so could have been driven pretty hard.

the 25K mile well hasnt been driven much, so i have alot more life in the car.

either one is ridiculously nice for a high school kid. Promise us you wont go driving it on any airstrips now, okay?

I like them both. If i were in your shoes i'd go with A and mod it personally.

hell no, no air strips or trees for me...

ia ctually found another Black one with the cinnamon interior, with the same springs and dinan software for cheaper and 10K less mileage.

So i think ima go with that one, then mod it personally from there.
