no use keeping my BMW. serivce costs sucks! i see no point to it. it's the same, you're going from point A to point B. might as well get an affordable, easy to maintain, and hip ride!

Hope you did the right thing. I know if I had a nice bmw i'd probaly keep it. I hear the maitnence is expensive though and such. Yes hip ride it is. The only thing i'd watch out for is the paint quality. I have had my car through some ruff ****. -20 plus rocks, winter highways trential rain storms so far so good Wish list is a custom paint job that's better quality than oem.

it's actually a though decision to make black burner. that was my 2nd beemer. the one i had before it was a z3> had problems with brake judders in the end. traded it for a 2006 3 series. enjoyed it's initial 4yr/50K worry free maintenance. but to my surprise, at 53K miles it's water pump gave up...only at 53k miles!!!(cost to repair is was $1600!!!for a stupid water pump). i have a 99 toyota rav 4 with 95K miles and no problems, and that happens to a bmw!. i was able to use the equity on that bmw to snatch a great bargain on this soul. actually, test drove a mazda2 first, but that dealership didn't want to agree with my price range. i did this to show bmw that it doesn't mean an owner owns a bmw, he'll be forever be loyal to that brand. they can suck at a fat one from now on! haha

there must have been a major decision to shift from muscle to hip urban ride my decision was mainly based on practicality. at this day and age, we have to stretch the value of the dollar

well glade to hear you like it. I am so happy with the car expect for th epaint job. I was one of the first 2010's purchased so I was the un lucky crappy paint job from factory. So im going to use the **** out of it for a few yrs here and save up for a custom paint job. I may do something like that green machine from the fast n furious in japan. hehe i think that would be sweet.

There is no substitute for Cubes unless it is Horse Power . I do love my cute, hip, urban ride as Im sure you love yours

My decision was also based on practicality. With a daily commute to work of 90 miles round trip a big portion of my pay was going to the Arabs
