Great performance, reliable, and quite fuel-efficient

i'd say its one of the greatest cars to drive and the easiest cars to drive ever.

After driving this vehicle, mere words cannot describe how well it does EVERYTHING. Beautiful, comfortable and really fast. I just bought a 2001 model (in 2007) with only 8300 (that's eight thousand three hundred) miles. The guy I bought it from just got a new 2007 M5 and I just wanted to get it out of his driveway before he realized that he gave up the better car. The new car is a bit faster (100 horsepower is a lot) but it just isn't the same. BMW has gotten away from the evolution of the design. The two cars parked next to each other (both black on black) showed the "older" design is just better looking (that's why they got a 10+ grand premium when new). The new ones are being discounted. Oops...(BMW) can't fool us.
