    I paid $3800 for it. It is replacing the vehicle that I still owe $15k on. Getting rid of the monthly payment while lowering costs of insurance, registration, and gas. This model and year have a very low number of complaints or recalls, AND it has a full size spare, so hopefully I won't be calling for help much. It has pretty low mileage. The biggest documented complaint is that the cup holders are crap.... which I've already verified.

    +1 on Bimmer cup holders. The ones in the X5 I just traded on the Taco actually intersected. You couldn't put two cups in two cupholders. Amazing.

    You know what? I'm racking my brain to confirm, but I believe I've only ever been inside a BMW a single time in my life. It was an E46 M3, and I was very drunk at the time, so couldn't get a full appreciation of the experience.
    I don't think I've ever been inside a Mercedes Benz either.

    What kind of sheltered life have I been living? I used to be a "car gùy" too.

    I never wanted a BMW, but the price was right. Driving home from work this morning was only the second time I had ever driven one. The first time was during the test drive.
