Thumbs up Good Move

Good decision of converting from European to Japanese, they are way more reliable.

Myself was also enthusiast for the European vehicles: S500, M3, 540i, and S4, they are all nothing but CRAP CRAP CRAP. Especially the S500, paid over $110k and spent another 40k to maintain the junk. I had the junk for over 5 years and only put less than 38k miles on it, due to the fact the the vehicle was IN-SERVICE almost every other week.

Now I am the PROUD owner of LS430 and GS350, loving them everyday!!!

Totally agree with the S-class assessment, TOTAL JUNK! My S430 started rusting in the 3rd year and add to it a bunch of electrical problems and simply put that most of the time I was driving it, it was to the dealership to get something fixed. I also had a 540i and it was ok not too many problems except the 540i engines had compression problems which luckily my didn't but when trading it in no one wanted it. What is worst is that BMW and MB charge you an arm and a leg for ******ty service.

I want Glacier Frost mica ( i think it's what it's called) or pearl white, with ash/black wood interior, ML, park assist and every other option (if possible, the distronic thing for cruise control if not it's ok). what's the best price they can get me?
