[Intuition]

"I won't buy another Audi or BMW!"

I'm sadly addicted to BMWs.  :s

But they have been good to me compartively to my hondas and toyotas. Sure the parts aren't as cheap but far more reliable cars. Even more so than the 5000s audi I had which was very very troubled.

I have had a BMW z3 that I put a downing atlanta supercharger in. So much fun. Had that over a decade. 

I still have a 1991 e30 325ix and a 2003 325ci. aaaaand.... I had to drop $3k to replace the steptronic transmission last week. It finally gave out after 16 years. BUT. the new one is smooth. I am considering an old VW 1950s-1970s Beetle restoration project in a few years. I actually work on my own BMWs and do almost every fix except the transmission. Auto tranny are like mysterious black boxes to me.
