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...

I got this one loaded--sport package, 282-way adjustable seats, premium stereo, etc. It was well worth the wallet splitting amount I paid for it.

Pros — Just about everything
Cons — price
