Lol, sad thing is I drive my Toyota more than my BMW. Mostly because the BMW is a company car and I can only drive it for work or work related trips.

Go for the bimmer....too hell with everyone crying about parts and repairs, sure the repair bill is going to be higher than it would if you had a ford or chevy, but you also must realize that you have a better build vehicle that's going to last you longer if properly maintained than the chevy or ford also....it's like buying a profile amp vs. a sundown amp.....they both perform there appointed tasks for the money you paid but I'd pay the little extra for the sundown and get better performance, better build quality and a better warranty.....and in case any of you are wonderring....yes I do drive a bmw and yes I did spend 5yrs in the car business as well.......//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I had one for a while...two in fact. A mid 80's 733 (good god that car was pimp!) and a 96 328is. (Which was also very pimp in its own way) Both were very expensive to maintain and to drive. Gas, insurance and things like that were all a notch higher when driving a bmw. Repairs? Try 350 for a replacement STOCK rim! Brakes were pretty expensive as well close to 500 including 2 rotors, and I just had to worry about the parts portion of it, not the labor. I guess that bmw (rightly) assumes that if you can afford a bmw, you can afford to keep it on the road. Don't overlook that part, or you'll be screwed.

This is true as well. My 733 had over 259k miles on it, and it still ran like a dream. Get it on the highway and it really came into its element. Too bad it had frame damage....

i had an 1990 e30 and that thing ran like a champ

the only thing i had to do to it was reg maint

transfilter was 30 bucks .....eh oil filter was 8

only thing expensive was spark plug wires ($200)

cap and rotor was almost 100....eh nothing to high priced

either way that car ran like a champ all the time and i loved it

If you're thinking about getting one because you want to look suave dont bother. Every buster and his buster brother has already thought of it.

I got an 01 525i, and love it. The parts are expensive, but I love how it drives.
