BMW free sceduled maintenance is very overated. Like Iceman said, you can only take it in for scheduled maintenance when the computers indicates. In my case I think I got to take it in for schedule maintenance about 3 times before the warranty expired. However, since the warranty expired they say I sould bring it in every 5k
I will eventually upgrade the wheels and lower it if I keep the car. The rattles are just bugging me.

I can attest to this as well. The Blue may have something to do with t, but since I added my Lows, I'll notice a lot more pleasant looks while at intersections.

Just the other day while at the tire shop, a new series owner did 3 or 4 walk-arounds my car, admiring, I think.

But, yeah, GM, I get some unwanted attention too sometimes.

First, I need to get my exterior and interior. The bumper cover needs replacing and the trunk lid need to be redone because the clearcoat is scratched. Plus, my dash rattles, and there is a dime sized bump in the dash.

Maybe, I'll trade it in for a GS4 and let the next guy take car of it. But wheels and suspension and maybe, a torque convertor are high on my list.

I admit, BMW is the "Ultimate Driving Machine" out of the showroom. However, this feeling will last at the most 3 years - then the repairs start pouring in. The GS will need some mods to improve its handling, but it is much less likely to cost you in repairs.

So true about the dubs... and once you get a system in the car, and you blast it, and have dubs, youll get more stares than ever...
