[quote=paramount][quote=outtamojo]With $11K cash seems like it’d be perfect time to get a new car and avoid the inevitable money pit that all old bimmers become.[/quote]

I was so happy to recently get rid of my BMW, by the time I traded it in I couldn’t even keep the engine light off with my OBD tool.

I kept getting OBD codes related to the cooling system. I barely got it through the emissions check; I was literally afraid to drive it fearing yet another costly issue.

I’m embarrassed to admit this: I lost money on my BMW.

It was fun to drive in the beginning, but once the never ending problems starting showing up I was glad to see it go – even at a loss.

Oh well, lesson learned.[/quote]
