I myself think Hondas and Toyotas are good conservative and reliable cars, but I can't stand it when kids take crappy parts and somehow fit it on hondas w/ the fartcan exhausts and badly tuned suspension (if you can call cutting springs to drop the car a suspension upgrade).
As far as Bangle, I agree, I hate him myself and he ruined the EURO look that bimmers had before. To this date my fave BMW has been the E39's. They look very European and more masculine and aggressive.
The Z series never did it for me cuz I"m too tall to drive that, but my fiance has a new Z4 that we got for her one day before I got the 745
I also love the 8 series, but unfortunately they are not being made anymore.
To be honest I"m not crazy about the new 7 series design either, but it's growing on me and I needed something new and w/ warranty. As far as handling and power for a 4500 lb car, it's EXCELLENT.
And those people who complain that the I-Drive is too hard to work w/, those are the ones who can't even program their vcr's or turn on their TV's w/out help. THE IDIOTS.
Most cars these days are being ruined. I dn't like the new mercedes (except the SL's) and Audi's don't do it for me either. The Euro look is fading.

Baverian Motor Works Which means trash car. Dont waste your money on one.
I love little schoolboys with Honda Civics that have watched Fast and Furious too many times.
BMW is a nice ride.

BMW stands for Bring My Wallet. As in they are Maint. Hungry.
I have a e320Amg Now and was looking at the new BMW 6 Series 645Ci Convertible. I like my Mercedes-Benz but now they have taken away the lease Maint program so I am looking somewhere else for my next car. I love leasing, life is easier. I think I have it narrowed down to the BMW 6 or 745li series. Although the Mercedes-Benz dealership has called with some nice deals on the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class. I am also looking at a SUV and wanted to know if anyone has a Cadillac Escalade?
I have been looking at it for my second vehicle. I am suppose to test drive them next week. The Cadillac Escalade ESV Platinum Edition look nice.

About 5 of my neighbors have Escalades. I don't know much about them personally, but they are nice looking automobiles. I love the ones that look like a pearl metal flake. Gorgeous paint and Cadillac service is the only descent service you will get for an American made car.

Second that.
You can't beat the Bvlgari clock in the dash either. They are very nice inside, you won't be dissapointed.

Incorrect..... You can have your oil changed whenever you want.
Congrats on the 745, You should of got the the 760li...
I got the chance to drive the 760 on the road course/track in SC. Sweet car.

If I had money to burn, I'd have gotten the 760iL. But I think the 745i is more practical. Who needs a 12 cylinder if you can't even drive in this LA traffic. And who needs a longer body car (the iL) if you are satisfied w/ the normal length. The iL is 5-6 grand more, and it's only 5 inches longer, who cares...
As far as the escalades go, I love them, except I'm not a big fan of SUV's AND American cars. I like the new Ranger Rovers better

I may have misunderstood my wife (her car and she takes it in for the work) but I swear she said they would not change it until it got down to one light. It could just be the dealership. We only have one in our area and who knows what they do. I will take your work for it base on you should know from your occupation.
One nice thing is they always give her a nice a BMW loaner when she brings hers in for any type of work. They gave her a brand new X3 last time. Neat little SUV but not quite for me.

If you pay for it out of pocket you can have you oil changed when you want. Know if you what your full maintenance to pay for the oil change, then yes you have to wait for the lights on the dash....

Even though I am an Audi Fanatic, I'll say that BMW's are nice cars...for California. I live in Nebraska where it snows, and after a nice 6 inch dusting it's just the 4x4 Trucks and the Audi's out on the road, moving along just fine. We do have to be careful to watch out as not to hit the BMW's that are stranded in the middle of the road...along with all the other american trash cars. And it's not that most of the people I know hate BMW's, it's the type of people that drive them ( and no I'm not talking about jews)... I guess a majority of people I know that own BMW's have slicked back hair and nice new designer sunglasses. BMW's just ooze the word pompous. But that's just my opinion.

Yeah, that is what I meant. They will only change the oil when the lights go down to one light if you are under the covered maintenance. I guess I should have been more clear.
