eh
BMWs, specifically, have alot of "fragile" parts for a multitude of reasons
for example
their cooling system is almost all made out of plastic, which gets brittle...
its expensive, BUT
if the car has an issue, the plastic is going to burst, causing you to pull over
instead of the cooling *$#% NOT bursting, and your engine being damaged/bursting
the euro imports ARE superior....just way more expensive...
the parts costs more, take longer to get in, and are harder to put on
they do dumb *$#% like put the battery in the trunk
etc.
BUT
their cars are FUN to drive
and the ENGINES run forever
granted, your windshield wiper is prolly gonna break 12 times at 600 a pop...
BUT
that engine is gonna run past 280k
dudes be trynna sell BMWs on craigslist like "the odometer stopped running around 295k, 3 years ago, but it still runs strong!"
LOL
never seen anything american ever last that long, and if it did, nobody was selling that #%@*$ on craigslist...

we are in the same boat...when it comes time to cop its gonna be a race between the s550 and the f10....i love the current S so i don't think a new body style will sway me too much...if anything it will help cause the current joint i like should drop a lil moreOriginally Posted by Tetsujin23
watch that ******- no mr. ceeOriginally Posted by Kingtre
ahh now its an official Euro car thread!
i'd have to see that audi in person and it would have to impress greatly in the interior and drive departments to get me off the f10 - i honestly don't care about "turning heads" anymore...i did all that...i like the 5...
been lookin at the w221s and they're STILL runnin 50-60k
If you're thirsty you can obtain one with 100k+miles on it for just under $40k

cars will always instantly depreciate the moment you drive them off the lot.
personally, I wouldn't mind using the train or subway to get around, but Los Angeles is strictly a car/freeway type area, plus I have kids to drive around.
I have seen myself buying a used car from CarMax. The whole 'no-haggle' pricing seems tempting and they do have a somewhat conservative warranty on cars they sell.
I have a few growing babies in my family with more on the way, so I probably wouldn't have a problem buying a used Suburban or Escalade ESV from CarMax ~ instead of buying brand new from the dealers... because I know my kids won't care if the car is used when they barf or spill their juice in the back seat.
