I also have a good story to tell you guys, my friend (also a co-worker) just bought a BMW 330i two weeks ago on a saturday. Four days later, he was dropping off his daughter at the babysitter's house and when he turn to go back to his car, he saw smoke coming out of the hood, he open up the hood and saw smoke and fire coming out of the radiator fan. It took two cups of water to turn out the fire. After that, he was f***en pist off. He ask for clear corner lights but the dealer said, NO! They didn't give him anything, not even an apollogy. All they did was fix the mistake ,which was the wiring from the radiator fan, and gave the car back him. Another minus points for the crappy bmw cars and it's dealers.
Hope you guys this one because it's just too funny!

come on guys. not all bimmers are that bad. my ex-girlfriend drove a 528i for two years without a single problem. the car only went to the dealer for regular service visits (which is a rip off at bmw dealers by the way).
and i know this guy who bought the 330 when it first came out, no problems so far. at least not yet.

Sure, it is NO Ferrari, BUT can you name another production 5.0L V8 engine that can put out these numbers with a normally aspirated engine without performing major engine work and modification (which, by the way, costs a lot do as well)?

I have a 98 BMW 740il fully loaded back home (Kuwait) and I do love the car it was mt favorite car before I baught my GS400 my dad has a 2001 S-500 and to tell you the truth I still liked driving the 740 over the S500 even though the 500 was a faster car the 740 feels more stable especaily at high speeds ( 170MPH ) but I like the the lexus sports sedans better than BMW and mercedes ( GS VS 5 series VS E class ) as for Luxury sedans Im just waiting for the new 7 series to show up its suposed to be so advanced that it puts the S class to shame and if I dont like it then Im just getting a CL55 AMG
as for the M5 it is an exotic car no matter what people say it is a wolf in sheeps clothing, I have drivin 2 of them so far and every time I drive it it impresses me more and more unlike the E55 AMG which I didnt like too much but the M5 was an amazing car that will be talked about for a long time it actually reminds me of the Mercedes 6.9 WOW that was a fun car to drive the only sedan that impreses me more than the M5 is the Renntech E7.4 not even SRT's GS400 impresses me as much as that car with a 0-60 in 3.6 the 1/4 in 12 flat and a top speed of 202mph now thats impressive

biggie:
The CL is a really nice car, I had put up posts on it a while back asking for people's opinions on it.
However, I think if you put a Lorinser kit on it, it will look much better. CL55 AMG with Lorinser body kit, wow !
Its too expensive for me, right now atleast. Did you see the S-class with the CL front end manaray posted up a while ago? It looked awesome...a 01 S55 AMG, with the 01 CL front end, with the Lorinser body kit...that would be one superb, and expensive, car !
