Sometimes you have to cut your losses and move on.
A Camry might be more reliable than a BMW, but other than that…
I’d say if you can afford (and your priority is to spend money on) a nice car, get yourself a Lexus. I think Lexuses are great. Smooth, powerful, reliable, comfortable, quiet. They have some models that compare with a BMW 3 series. A friend has a Lexus IS, and he loves it. flu says he’s not a fan of the Lexus IS. So, being a fellow (maybe former) BMW fan, you might not be either. But then again, you might. And if you decide you like it, you’ll have a car you like, and it will most likely be somewhat more reliable than your BMW (and less expensive to repair).
Good luck.[/quote]
the IS-F isn’t bad, minus the look of the quad stacked tailpipe.. 🙂 But I don’t think he’s looking at that…[/quote]The new IS actually beat out the new 3 series in the comparo. The review actually say the new IS handles better, although it is slower. I’m also waiting on the new W205 C-class as well. It supposed to be substantially lighter (~3000 lb for the lightest one). Which is absurdly light for this class of vehicle.
