Any BMW owners here?

the strong Euro is hurting BMW's sales, considering its main export is to the US. The euro is strong, but the US dollar still controls the world.

BMW's are nice. My grandpa has a 530 ( think?) straight 6 and it is fast. I love how the interiors are done, basic but solid feeling - something american cars will never get right.

2005 year model is the last bodystyle year of the 99-05's, im anxious about how the new 3's will look.

had one.........good machine but i prefer the more luxurious feel of an Audi or mercedes.

if you're gonna get a 3 series don't get the 325i....the interior is garbage and it's nothing special. You're gonna pay 30,000 for a bare bones one basically

get the 330ci if you get one.

You really think Benz's are luxurious? (some of the new ones are pretty hot though) I always thought they were hard and stiff inside and the bigger ones drove like a boat (maybe they have changed).

I had looked at the A4 and A6 when I bought my car and came close to buying one until I saw and test drove my car.

I have to say that the new 3 series interiors have a much cheaper more plastic look than the previous body style.

I have a 330xi, its a 2002 and I love it. It takes a beating from me daily, its very snappy (5 speed of course) and the suspension is amazing.

my dad drives both a 740i (1998 i believe) and a brand new Z4. The 740 has over 125,000 miles and runs beautifully. It;s like sitting in your lazy-boy and driving down the road. I havent driven the new Z4 yet but Im guessing it's fast.

my friends parents had an M roadster. We took it out one night when his parents were gone and tore it apart. Then a couple weeks later the engine seized on my friend as he was driving it. The guys parents were totally irresponsible as they hadnt changed the oil in like 40,000 miles and it went through some tough rides with my friends and me.

what kind of complete imbecil spends that much money on a car and doesnt take it for an oil change wtf. i think my dad actually gets free oil changes on his 740i but i could be wrong. either way, no excuse for that.
