The car accelerated with ease and felt rock solid on the road. It handled all types of weather. The Tiptronic was fun, and the car absolutely lived up to my expectations. It is definitely a driver's car and does exactly what you tell it to when you want it to.

I do love driving this car. I find it handles well, turning accelerating, and I love the sound of the engine. However, the maintance and upkeep costs are just too high. I have actually performed the majority of maintenance on my car myself to help reduce cost, cause even a simple trip to the mechanic can be $1000 minimum. I had also heard before buying the car, that some BMWs are great and some are just lemons. I think I got the lemon. I had the motor/engine replaced at 30k miles. Along with the motor radiator and water pump. I also replaced all of the door window actuators at 40K along with a lot of the dash switches (lights, hazards, windows, etc) This car has had something on it replaced pretty much every month since I bought it.
