Good buy. My family has owned several bmw's over the past few years and they are truly great cars. My fathers 80ish 3 series made it to 3xx,000 before the axle gave out.

Gorgeous, one of the all time great designs! I almost picked up a similar car last winter (gray over black) but after looking into the repair costs (like $3k for struts) I got cold feet. But I still admire the styling and that car sure didnt feel as big as it is when driving it.

Yes, they are expensive to repair but if you want to own a 70k dollar vehicle you can't really expect it to be cheap. As to the power question mzmtg nailed it. The numbers are kind of deceptive though as it's 0-60 time is 6.0 seconds, pretty quick for a 4,000 lb plus luxury sedan. Also, I have never been in a car that makes 100 mph seem so slow. Thanks for all the compliments.
