We will most likely buy another BMW when the time comes, but not from this dealership. This car is very fun and comfortable to drive and we are happy with most aspects of the car. BMW tried to be cheap on a few engine parts and they are failing. It is biting them in that *** now.

I dont have any personal experience with bmw other than riding in numerous ones.. but for the cost of the car and cost of repair... you can still get something nice for less money. Thats just the way I see it now, who knows what I'll think when I have tons of cash to burn

Thats what one of my best friends parents did. Her dad had a bmw as a work car and decided it was time to get a new car of their own. Took a look at the bmw's and liked them of course, but then looked at the benz. You can get more for your money with the benz is what they told me and thats what they got.

We wanted a combination of comfort and sport. Most MB's only have the luxury. Not saying thats a bad thing.. just not what we wanted.

Nothing wrong with Bimmer - I'd buy one before I bought a Mercedes. At least you know the parts for the BMW will exist in 5 years.

I'd buy a Benz or Bimmer (or pretty much anything else) before I bought an Audi

And this is exactly why I will never own a BMW. I hear nothing but horror stories about them from owners.

At this point if I am ever in the market for a "luxury performance" car I will go with the legacy GT, or step up into the Lexus stuff. Most the crap coming out of Europe is just that...crap. MB, BMW, Audi...all have major issues.

On the up side the M3 is an excellent track car. I've spent quite a bit getting my suby to be able to hang with them in the corners...

Fixed. After my bro's experience with his e90, I could have gotten an e92 335, or a G37; I picked the G37. Now I'm in a 09 FX35, so you could say I'm kinda biased lol.
