Hello,
Many of my friends have been giving me advice of DONT buy a BMW they are a money pit car, $900 alternators, etc... nothing but problems.
I thought the best people to ask are actual BMW owners. Would you do it again?
I love the way they look, the cars I've test drove felt like great engineering went into them. I've heard things such as real men own only 5 series and up? What's the deal with that?
I need help in deciding whether to buy a BMW and if so, which model convertible would be the most reliable with the least maintenance costs? I would prefer something that's a pretty quick and fun to drive in the hills and an automatic (M3 or M5?). Pro's and con's of going with an automatic in a BMW? I personally prefer a stick however, traffic has gotten so bad it's a drag constantly going on and off the clutch.
Since I've never owned a BMW all advice on years and models to avoid and the best years/models, tips etc. would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
