[Ed Gizzle]

as in, what the cost of buying a car like that going forward...in michigan..

the only thing good about bmw's is they offer full service and maintenece under the OG warranty. if u get an 07 next year, u could still have 2 years of free maintenece given ur car has decent mileage on it.

sounds good...i've heard of that as well...how expensive is regular maintenance on a bm?

i wouldnt buy the 3 series, 1st i think theyre for chicks, 2nd...it seems like youre just buying it cuz of the name. if i couldnt at least get the 5 series id just stack bread until i could afford it

[Wilt Chamberlin]

Only 3 series worth owning are the M cars.

I'll tend to agree w/ you to a point.

The higher end 3 series are nice cars, especially the used ones. You can get some deals.

Real talk.

man it cost a grip. my moms got a 5 series and her transmission recently went out. since they got the warranty, its covered, but the parts and labor would have cost over $5000. :ohmy:

my sister has had 2 3-series. each one was a used demo car from the dealership. she leases them due to the free maintenence, and then gets a newer one before the warranty expires.

Fukk outta here. That shyt been on the Car & Driver 10 best list for like 20 years. It's the prototypical sports sedan / coupe; the one every other car is judged by. I say if you can afford one, get one.

i'm 6'1 200 lbs, i feel like that car is too small for me, it looks like a baby mama car. i like the 5 series and up

but its a beautiful car, so if u like it then do you.

[Ed Gizzle]

i mean you're both RIGHT

the 3 isn't a bytch ass car by any means...it ISNT the ONE series...[lol]

but it ain't the 5....thats much MORE of a vehicle unquestionably

[houston911]

right, im not dissing the 3 series at all, its way better than my car..... i personally just dont think its really a manly car, thats just my opinion though

*shrug* Fair enough. Personally, I'd have no beef with rockin a 6-speed 335 coupe w/ Dinan chip (380 hp) and some 19" wheels.

Nope, no beef whatsoever.

Edit: Damn, now I might hafta get one.

5 series is too big, u must live in the South

I would fukk w/a fully loaded 3 series, they handle nice and look good. 5 series is some shyt my dad would drive.
