90K - What would you do?

Ok let me first say I've had my Evo for 4 years now and loving every second but as the title says - I jus hit 90,000 miles on my car. (Needless to say - I drive alot) Anyway I'm kicking around some ideas on what I want to do going foward and I figured I could get some input from you guys - here are my options.

1) Sell the car, get into the new 335xi (all wheel drive, twin turbo coupe from BMW - comes out next month) that will cost about 800 a mo (22K 3 yr lease)

2) Keep the car, do the timing belt and while it's open drop in cams, injectors alcohlol and FP Green - is that a smart move with 90k on it?

3) Just drive the car as is untill wheels fall off.

What would you do?

That, my friend, is a good option. I'm beginning to think BMW should give loyalty discounts to guys with Evos. Evo-->335 seems to be quite popular.

2.3 Stroker. I think you can get it done for under $5K and then the sky is the limit...

You have had the Evo this long and unless you got the loan for something ungodly (7 years) the car will be paid off in two years. I say screw all your options keep the car till you pay off the Evo save your money (cause honestly if you are thinking about selling your car and you have had it the way it is this long it won't matter to you to keep it the same for two more years) and use the money that you saved as a deposit toward that nice little car of yours and then you can have your cake and eat it too. A little patients will pay off in the end.
