I was hoping you asked this question on the FWD forum also, just to compare responses. I didn't see it there though.

I would think the biggest factor to consider is whether or not you need a vehicle with the extra cargo space. I assume the BMW (oooops, sorry) is a sedan.

Compelling reasons to keep the 740 wagon:

1.) Utilitarian "truck" type of car.

2.) More cash in pocket if you sell the 850. (You'll continue to suffer more depreciation if you hang onto the 850, whereas the 740 is already close to rock bottom.)

3.) If you do your own repairs, the 740 is probably easier to work on. If you vend-out the repairs, probably less costly on the 740.

Compelling reasons to keep the 850:

(No known reasons)

BTW - Removing the headliner board for recovering is easier on a wagon than it is on a sedan.
