Message: <blockquote data-quote="ratchet" data-source="post: 153738" data-attributes="member: 2640">IMHO, bimmers were never known to be durable. Toyotas yes, BMW no. I would think that is because when they started out designing the car, the focus was always the 'drive experience'. Making the car last 20 years on the same parts was never on the table. After all, wouldn't UDM stand for Ultimate Durability Machine if it were?You WILL pay more owning a BMW. There is no argument about that. If you want a car that will last a generation, go for a JDM. A Toyota maybe. If you want a car for the driving experience and don't mind the cost attached to it, then go UDM. Just be careful when buying. Like any other marque, there are bound to be a few lemons around for each model. Make sure you aren't one of the parking those in front of your house.</blockquote>
