[QUOTE="V-Man, post: 722553, member: 2609"] Firstly you need to narrow down what you're into. From your description, you might want to consider a 5 series over a 3 series for something that is FUN yet very comfortable for your family. If you're driving mostly alone and into spirited driving then you can look out for 3 series. In terms of reliability, it is very subjective taking into account the age and previous ownership maintenance records. You will need to do a lot of research in looking out for a well maintained one. Its best from an owner directly with all maintenance records. Even with this, you might need to spend a little in the initial stages to ensure you're leashing the actual feel of owning the roundel. Older models have lesser electronics hence it would be easier to maintain and produce better reliability. With all this said, it boils down to your budget and the kind of passion that you would like to experience in your ownership. There would be almost never a direct answer to opinions required as yours :) Hope you would get some time to join the clan in TT's to gauge more info and knowledge that would help you make up your mind. Lastly, wish you good luck in your quest and hope you'll find your match pretty soon. Cheers.. V-Man [/QUOTE]
