I just bought my new 2005 325i Saturday -- traded in my Camry -- I have always wanted a BMW so decided to give the gift to myself......
I'm not having buyers remorse; however, I read something on another forum that "concerns" me. It said that someone who wants a dependable car to get them from point a to point b shouldn't get a BMW because it is so high maintenance and undependable.
Yikes! I know it is expensive to maintain outside of the warranty/maintenance agt; however, I do drive it to work (about 10 miles round trip) and not much else on a daily basis. I am not a high performance driver but I just LOVE the feel, the handling, the style, the reputation of the BMW.
Are BMW's really undependable? Is my BMW going to be wasted on me since I drive it to work daily? Do I need to make sure and drive it hard at on a regular basis for it to be "happy"?
I am totally in love with it! I want it to love me back!
