2007 BMW 3 Series - Great to drive, expensive to maintain

I love the 2007 BMW 328xi, it is by far one of the most fun cars to drive, the engine is fast and easy to drive. The heated seats are amazing and the car compared to other similar luxury vehicles is fuel efficient. The car is however extremely expensive to maintain, expect to spend close to a $1000 a year just on regular maintenance.

Story

On I-80 in Pennsylvania, I drove the car at 155 mph

Pros

The car is extremely fuel efficient for a luxury sports car, it gets 28 mpg highway and 22 mpg city. It is fun to drive and is all wheel for additional stability. The car has a dynamic traction control option for a more sporty option. Living in Michigan, the heated seats are amazing.

Cons

The car is extremely expensive to maintain, the smallest expense can be extremely costly and paying for premium gas gets old quickly.

1998 BMW 3 Series - handles well, fast

My car is very nice to drive. I have a manual transmission and it really helps to feel connected to the car. The car drives very well and corners great, it really feels like it is secure on the road. The seats are a nice size and fit, they are not so big that the driver slides all around but they are also not so tight to make the driver feel like a giant! The heated seats are great in the Michigan winters and even after 16 years on the road it is still in great working order and very dependable.

Story

I found this car on the internet and took a PTO day off work to drive 500 miles just to look at it in hopes of being able to buy it!

Pros

The great things about this car include it's heated seats as well as it's handling especially it's cornering. I have had an other car with this same size engine that felt as though it had much less power than this one does. I think that having a manual transmission in this car makes the engine feel more powerful.

Cons

Some of the negative aspects of this car include its leather seats and wheel which are very cold to the touch during the winter. The engine also does not seem to run as well in the cold air. One feature that I do not like because of the safety risk it presents is that when the key is placed in the lock it unlocks all four doors at once without any way to unlock only the door that you want to open. Also the down side of any manual transmission car is that it is not compatible with a remote car starter. Finding mechanics who are competent to work on this vehicle has also been a challenge.
