What exactly about BMW's do you think sucks? Pretty damn good cars. Beats any American car you can buy.

Eh, I know exactly jackshit about car lines. I play too much to have a car even if i did like them...camping, hunting, fishing, boating, not to mention work. That and a lot of our roads dont like low profile vehicles, yet idiots round here still buy them

It's not what I "think" sucks, its that they do suck. The 3 series has consistently been along the bottom in regards to reliability and time in the shop. It hasnt had a decent ranking since 1996. "German Engineering" doesnt mean shit when youre talkin BMW.

Add to the fact that it's always the same rehashed shit, for an even higher price tag every year... you're better off buying some American crap. At least its more affordable, and easier to fix.

$19k for a 4year old used car is a whole lot to me, I'll admit it.

Dr. Dipshit,

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/int ... mw_3series

http://www.edmunds.com/new/research/bmw/3series.html

JD Powers, Motortrend, Edmunds - and a slew of other major auto reviewers all give the 3 series very good ratings.

I don't know what side of your ass you pulled the bullshit of this particular series sucking from, but it shows you obviously know nothing about cars.

Now if you REALLY want to talk about shitty quality... I have three words for you. Ford, Chevy, Chrysler.

I've never seen a BMW on the side-o-the-road waiting for a tow. I have a couple of certified mechanic friends who all vouch for BMW products - especially the 3 series.

So, if you don't mind - I'll take the word of 3 ASC mechanics, JP Powers, Motortrend and Edmunds over a former EQ, message board posting junkie.

I bought this car because:

A. I got a fucking great deal on it.
B. I've always wanted a BMW.
C. Like it or not it IS a chick magnet.
D. I got sick of riding around in a soccor mom wagon.

Laugh if you want. Considering you've never stepped foot in this city, you have absolutely no idea of what it's like. Savannah is THE most narcissistic and pretentious city I've ever been in. And, considering I've been pretty much all over the world, that's saying a lot.

More so than NYC or LA? I find that difficult to believe.

But if you say so :dunno:

Good luck with your chick magnet.

No, you're not getting it.

Yes, NYC has its Manhatton... LA has its Hollywood... etc. Those are sections of an over all city. Here it's not just a "section" - it's the ENTIRE city.

You're also missing the point that I didn't buy it FOR women. I bought it because I've always wanted one and I happened to run across one I liked for a hell of a deal. The fact it will attract extra attention in this town is merely an added bonus.

My wife's Z4 (2004) has been in the shop alot more than I'd expect from a BMW. Rear tire rotors had repeat malfunction, and the sound system had a known defect that was replaced. It's all under warranty (BMW has killer service) and didn't cost us a penny but I found it odd for that to go out in the first 3 years.

If you're claiming Savannah is as shallow and pretentious as Hollywood or Manhattan then a 3 series will not get you any ass unless you put rims, huge sub and a tailpipe whistle on it and cruise through the ghetto. 7 Series, M Series or Z4's however...

haha, yeah... reviews on the vehicle that some guys got paid to drive and write equal quality control and reliablity stats. :jerkit:

i don't give a shit how many mechanics you know, it's a good thing you do. cause once that car isn't covered anymore you're going to need to know a good mechanic or two.

don't get me wrong, it's a nice looking car. has decent performance, and if you're out to impress the ladies that like shiney expensive objects you picked a pretty good car. i hope it lasts and performs to your expectations, and it doesn't become a money pit like a good chunk of BMWs.

ps i work in a garage with 7 master mechanics, so since i know twice as many mechanics +1 as you i guess that means im right.
