Anyway i pull off the dealerships lot and 20 minutes later at a red light i hear bang and screatching and bang i get hit quarter panel squashed wft?  20 mi utes?

Got my used 740IL for $300 from my lawyer. It's got some miles and years, but damn, it still runs strong. I've always been an American car/truck guy, but for the price I couldn't turn down the offer. I will concede parts are expensive, but I haven't needed many.

It won't out run my Mustang, or haul anything close to to what my GMC truck does, but it does what I ask it.

BMW = Bust out My Wallet 

 

That sucks...    but on the Beemer, I leased an X5. Not a BMW guy but thought id try a 3 year lease.  Its OK , not great.  

The one thing I like is no repair costs. For entire lease, no ongoing costs except tires.  I bring it in every 10,000 miles and wait abut 1 -1.5 hours in a nice room, TV, food etc. BUT the car is somewhat under whelming.   It offers nothing that a highend Infiniti or Acura doesn't.
