Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 2263828, member: 10"] I'm on my second BMW. They are well made and run well but they are expensive to service. I haven't had any real problems with mine but I get rid of my cars at 60,000 miles so not exactly comparable to your situation. I agree with what someone else said here about finding a good local mechanic that can work on BMWs. Do not go to the BMW dealer to get it serviced. They are a total ripoff and charge almost double what a good local mechanic would charge. Also depends how many miles you drive a year. If you're driving a lot I'm not sure a 7 year old car is the way to go if you care about reliability. To be honest, if you're going to get a car that old get a Japanese car. Lexus, Acura, Infiniti are great luxury brands. Or go with a Toyota, Honda, Nissan if the luxury brands are out of your price range. [/QUOTE]
