Thats a good point Fish.

Hmmmm.

Ok, I'm going to the credit union Monday, see if I can hookup into a pre-owned 5 series Beamer. Should set me back about $500/month. Then when I drive by all those lonely reno house-hags, they'll be thinking "oh, look at that super treat! rowrrrr! maybe he's got a few thousand bucks to blow on a lady over the Moonlight Bunny Ranch. oh well, better go get the 18 pack my 'ol man' wanted so i dodn't get beat when he gets home."

Seems like alot for all that nonsense though. Can't I just put it in my 401K?

I'll die before I retire, so your right Fishy. Fuk it. Check out what $20 grand can buy (about $380 a month.)

BMW 740i

That's damn near cheap. I apologise for any doubts about having a nice car. I think I shall buy this.

I almost feel sorry for him. His biggest boast is a foolish endeavor, and noone will care.
Like I said, $800 cash for a 1993 Ford Taurus. Gets me to work and back, no payments. Cold bellybutton A/C too! I dig that.

No one looks twice, including cops. I secure enough with that. Plus the no car payment makes for some serious fun on the town.

Absolutely, with my 78 GMC truck, I have no payments, no worries about keys or cardoor damage (who'd notice). And merging onto the freeway is a breeze, (with that fender shaking & the exhaust roaring this thing has 'uninsured motorist' written all over it) they give ya plenty of room. People cut me off all the time when I drive the wife’s Volvo but lanes seem to just open up for the truck

thats what i'm talking about. theres nothing quite as fun as an UGLY truck.

That truck is the toejam.

Foward firing exhaust, a nice Kenwwod stereo (whats with the throttle sticker on it?) and a Evenrude outboard motor cowling in the front seat.

Plus it's 21,000 less than the 740i.

Sweet.

Sorry Rip...

Have a 2001 BMW 530i with full sports package and all the options. Great driving car with poorly appointed interiors and really bad quality control on leaks and rattles. All the windows rattle and it leaks in car washes.

Been back to the dealer several times and they said they can't do anything about it. Believe it or not, they blame the factory.

You'd think for $85,000 Cdn you could get a car that doesn't rattle.

My old Ford Taurus was put together better inside than this thing.

Would never buy another one or recommend the brand!

Wife has an E320 and it's a far better vehicle overall in that price class. I believe they're coming out with a sport version of the E320 class (E55?) which will probably be my next critter when this one runs out of the lease.

Beaters rule. Cheap insurance. Folks get out of your way when you merge onto the freeway. You don't have to worry about door dings. You don't mind if your dog jumps on the door when you get home. I drove beaters my entire life...25 years worth of driving. I love em. That's why I'm keeping my pick up truck! Its just time to have a toy for the race track. Something I've always wanted to do.Still planning to commute in my old pick up, I like being up high in traffic.

Badger, you're not the first to complain about rattles, though the leaks are the first I've heard...however, I did not buy it for quality, I bought it for the steering, the engine, and for fun at the track.
<S>

Creamo, FYI: E46 body style is: M3 and 3 series. The M3 today comes with 333 hp. The 330 now has the old HP that the M3 used to have (or close anyways) which is 225 hp (older M3's had 255). Yep, its a sub compact, 3200 lbs. I'll enjoy it at the track.
