Beemers are a piece of Chit. Barvarian Motor Waste
I owned one in Germany... Buy 2 of them, you'll need the parts.
The car is tempermental, unreliable, couldn't haul arse with both hands.
Frikken looks good in a garage, parking lot or along side of the road. Sold mine for $1500 just to have some star~eyed~glazed kid to take it off my hands. Then his Dad wanted to kick my arse... It was possessed, not repossessed, spiritually possessed... First time I ever had to scrap the frost from INSIDE the car windows in Winter. Had more dammm blankets inside that car than the Cottage of Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs.... and the Heater only worked in the Summertime. I'd drive to Frankfurt and it would be sweet... coming back South towards Nurnberg it would suck fuel *Insert Evil Laffter... "How many Ration Fuel Coupons do you have in yer Wallet?"
The only thing I removed from the Beemer was the stereo, got a bad shock in doing that too... Demon Seed.
I bought a Mecedes and enjoyed Germany... I loved that car and it loved me. Never a problem... nice wipers on the headlights, kept me warm and toasty in the harsh German Winters... nice and cool in the Summers. That car had Class. Had to stop buying the Mecedes Emblems for the hood, both the car and the local young Merkins stationed there...lost 3.
Sooo those that want to own a "Named" car go with Mercedes and forget Beemers.
