[QUOTE="k3nny, post: 205569, member: 139"] E46Fanatic: Thats the thing.. Im a true advocate of not being penny-wise, pound foolish. Pay more now, but hey, i have a good and satisfactory ownership, for the first 3 years at least. I know that if anything goes wrong, im covered. And it WILL go wrong with BMW's. :) Pay less now, but when something goes wrong and if i can afford the 5 digit bill, then the car sleeps in the workshop. Not worth it in my opinion seeing as option one has me paying more but in instalments which on a monthly term isnt that hard. Option two sees me paying big ass bills which i potentially might not be able to afford. bmwjunkie: At the end of the day, whichever your choice turns out to be, the E60 is a great car and a pleasure to drive. No one said that Mercedes' are without problems. Believe me. The problems are abundant as well and equally expensive to rectify. Once upon a time they were reliable. Now? Probably worst than BMW if i had my say. I work near North Port in the industrial area. Feel free to buzz me at 012-3893937 if you're ever in the area. Essentially, a Mercedes-Benz is like marrying a 30 year old something divorcee. She's experienced enough to please you, shes been thru a divorce so you know shes reliable enough to be there for you and not stray, and yet shes abit worn out and boring due to her age that you sometimes lose passion for her. A Lexus will be like marrying a librarian. Shes reliable, does a good job at whatever she does and will never let you down. A BMW however is like marrying a 18yr old slut, if i may be so crude. Shes not so reliable, often leaves you in a lurch and when she decides to spend, she spends BIG... She sometimes leaves you without her for quite awhile when she decides to spruce herself up by modifications because there are so much available cosmetics out there to make herself look better.. BUT when you decide to "ride" her, she will "ride" the living hell out of you and it will be the ride of your life. :) BMW's are passionate cars but with passion comes problems and with boredom comes reliability. :D [/QUOTE]
