So my friend and I are talking about our cars, his being an '91 BMW E30 or "The most bad@$$ car ever made for under $3000......used"

The conversation really gets going after I told him that I had considered a Series II L67, but then discovered a bunch more electrical work than i expected...

Him: so.. its a good thing you didnt get it
bluearrow3800: yeah
Him: you know what you should do....
Him: you know what'* coming dont you
Him: you should buy a.......
bluearrow3800: lol
bluearrow3800: a bmw
Him: jeep
bluearrow3800: wth
Him : lol
Him: bmw
Him: I lied

Then this...

bluearrow3800: well
bluearrow3800: i got to spend monies on other stuff
bluearrow3800: like a new engine
Him: or a new car?
Him: *wink wink nudge nudge*
bluearrow3800: lol
bluearrow3800: im not ready to give up my HUD
Him: we can make you a hud
bluearrow3800: or hugging 9 way power seats
Him: alright power seats
Him: I'll give you that
Him:but who needs that when your car is awesome
Him: and by awesome
Him: I mean.... freaking awesome
Him: is you car freaking awesome?
Him: I think not
Him: unless it was designed by god

bluearrow3800: dude
Him: *should be working on an ethics paper*
bluearrow3800: im not buying a bmw quit trying
Him: BUY A BMW

have you mentioned the cost-to-own factor?

Hey you forgot how this started....

Him: so we just lost a member to a Bimmer
Him: :/
Him: 1 point for you guys
Him: but he is staing in the club
Him: since he has another bonneville
Exilion 4: well...
Exilion 4: that sucks for you
Him: lol
Exilion 4: B WAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Exilion 4: cause he aint coming back till he'* broke

wth

Yes he did.... and I countered with inexpensive parts... BWAHAHAHAHAHA.... sorry.... And yes a few things are more expensive but in general it isn't bad because it had been made for 8 years and still has new parts being made (every European and their grandmother own these things... kinda). Granted I'm going by my very biased point of view which leads me to never buy an American car unless it is a classic.... or very reliable and sexy.

And there you have the Pontiac Bonneville

Aren't you on your third engine??? I'm on my first with no rebuilds at 230k miles.

EDIT: Although I have to admit you have a good community that has been helping you out. +1 to you BonnevilleClub... I still believe my car is more reliable and overall cheaper.

he'* in the minority... these engines consistently last over 200K. i'm sure you could find BMWs with bad motors too

There is a member here who does NOT drive his car lightly, and it'* a 1997 SSEi Supercharged 300+ K miles, and he does some raunchy burnouts at the strip.

True but we silence them with german efficiency.
