They even give free maintance now on new ones.







yeah the maintenance is built into the price of the car. how else do you explain a $20000 car for $40000. Hey but it comes with lifetime free car washes!




$20k car for $40k

YOU LEASE BMWs!!!



YOU DONT BUY THEM!


I could not agree more.



Same goes for Jags, Mercs, Audis



Audis are just as bad as BMWs. Talk about faulty sensor nightmare. A co-worker handed me his 2002 Audi A4 to fix. He was sick of the 110 dollar and hour he was getting hosed with at the stealership. I think every single sensor from the rear fog light to low pad warning was tripped.

But...but...but.... Every car magazine in the world is always shouting about how good BMW's are. They are the car that every other car should try to be. The 3-series is the "perfect automobile". Flawless in every way. The standard to which all other cars are measured. Are they wrong?




haha, they hand them back after a week!





I'd still want an M5 if I won the lottery though.

its a 2 owner garage kept car, with under 40,000 miles on it. bmw has spent over $16,000 in warranty repairs, power steering leaks, coolant leaks, clutch transmission, nav system failed, rear package tray fell apart, vanos broke, etc etc



and after all that it STILL rattles so much you cant hear how loud the a/c compressor is (sounds like a bad axle bearing) and its got a bad clunk from the rear end/diff area.



is it fast? yes.



does it look cool? yes.



would kia be ashamed to sell something that poorly built? yes
