This would have to be one of my favorite cars.  Big body with a powerful V8 and 6 spd.  This car had more power than most cars on the road and it was a 4 door.  Not as powerful as an M5 but enough.  

Pros: Powerful V8, 6 spd, 4 doors
Cons: Totalled

Great torque, a bit on the heavy side compared to the
3 series before, but lowering the car and changing the
computer management system along with the exhaust
system helped a lot. Great quality could use a new
interior as the years are starting to show.  An IPOD
auxiliary plug would have been helpful.

Pros: Engine, quality of workmanship
Cons: Not really environment friendly

The solid THUD when you shut the door, the absolute silence and absence of road noise while driving, the ease at which it cruises along, & the instant response & surge of power when you step down on the accelerator. Haven't had it for to long but so far it's been great. Can't wait to see how it drives in the snow.

Extremely comfortable, all options.

Pros: Great drive, power & responsiveness & great gas mileage on the open road for a 4.4ltr V8
Cons: Around town Gas mileage

Solid construction for body and chassis but engine built with parts that fail sooner than they should in a German car.  I enjoyed the plush seats and the auto-sensing wipers.  0 to 60 in well under 6 seconds.  Not a car for those who don't have big pockets for repairs and a backup car.

Pros: Smooth, Fast, Nice Fit and Finish
Cons: reliability of engine

I bought this car last year after selling my Ford Focus RS to my son - it was time to hang up my boy racing keys! Although not as much fun as the RS, this is far more comfortable and more fitting of a man my age. Expensive to run in current climate but woth every penny.

Pros: Comfortable. Large. Heated seats.
Cons: Expensive to run.

I use to think that BMWs were overrated until I actually drove one.  BMW is truly a driver’s car.  Drive one if you want to understand the term “fits like a glove”.  I have been very impressed with this car, but it has had some issues.  The cup holders are the worst.  Not many cars can go 0 to 60 in under 6 seconds and still fits two large car seats in its back seat.  So it is a very fast sports car while also being very safe family car at the same time.  
If its V8 engine did not burn so much gas, I would drive it more often.  

Pros: It has a fast V8 engine
Cons: It has a thirsty V8 engine
BMW can design a great engine but the cup holders design is one of the worst ever implemented.
BMW parts and labor are very expensive

This little beauty was my pride and joy for a couple of years. Mint condition 00', not my daily driver...Life was great until I totaled her in the summer of 07'.

Being a 540 she had the V-8, the sport package which included a six speed manual. I put on 18" split five star chrome BMW wheels with Michelin pilot sports. I put a Benfer cold air intake on with a complete Superspring exhaust, I also the ECU programmed. Added new headlights, tailights, side markers and a spoiler, and topped it off with a stereo system.

Pros: handling, speed, looks; virtually everything
Cons: Maintenance can become expensive...
