My car is perfect if you have family with children and its goodlooking too. If you want a fast car, then my car are not the best choice. Because when i drive 220km/h its still like driving 160km/h or if you wanna go 160km/h then its like 110km/h. This makes the car feeling slow while driving and the positive point of view is that your wife doesnt notice the actual speed, because of its comfort.
My cars mechanic is very good and its also cheap or average when parts are needed.
The bimmer goes 7-8 km/l in urban, 10-12 km/l suburban and 8-10 km/l mixed.
The most fun with this car is that mine is automatic/triptronic which i use manually when i feel to go drifting. But manual is always the best. And remember it is backwheel driven... So much more fun like every bimmer.

Pros — Bimmer + Mercedes -
Cons — Not a M5

I waited for years for the opportunity to buy a car like this, and when I finally got one, it exceeded all my expectations. This car has superb comfort, true power, practical load space, and the most beautiful lines among its competition. I hope I can keep this car for many many years to come.

Pros — The quality, everything is assembled with precision, nothing loose, just perfection
Cons — Expensive spare parts

For a 2.5 litre engine, the BMW M54 powerplant is a fun piece of engineering. It has good power delivery and response. It feels very eager to rev. The chassis has excellent balance between performance and comfort. The car feels solid and sure footed even when driven around fast bends quickly. I love it.

Pros — the engine & chassis
Cons — radio

E39 bmw, what more do you want to know. Its a 2.5L motor with a manual tranny, so its fun to drive but not fast.

Pros — Its the best color BMW makes...Orient Blue, handles great, and its certified by the CHP to do 130mph.
Cons — Its no fun to drive on 237 in rush hour.
