BMW for life.
So this isn't the first BMW that I've owned, one if the reasons why I decided to purchase another BMW brand car is because I can't afford a brand new, straight off the lot car, and BMW's are known to age well due to its superior engines, design and build, so when purchasing an older vehicle BMW is always one of my first choices, beside I like the look of older cars, especially BMW's. My 1996 BMW 3 series has an off white or cream exterior, with a beige leather interior. All the electrical functions still worked perfectly form the electrical seat adjustor's, and mirror's, to the radio. The car ran smoothly, and was ok when it came to gas. It was roomy, and got me to point A, to point B without any glitches. For a car that nearly the same age as me, it still looks good and runs perfectly.

Love the car but maintenance is too high.
I love how luxurious my car feels. The interior of the car is all leather and has a very sleek/elegant feeling. My car is a turbo and I'm able to switch over from regular drive to motor sport drive for more RPM's and faster acceleration. I absolutely love that and the heated seats. When I drive my car it feels very smooth and I don't feel the gears shifting at all unless I go into manual shifting. All of the extras that are fitting into my car are also a great bonus. There is a compass in my rear view mirror that helps me with directions when I'm lost. There is integrated Bluetooth for my phone and I really like having buttons on my steering wheel to control my music and phone calls. The auto tint on my mirrors at night so that I get a bright glare from other drivers who angle their headlights too high or use overly bright bulbs. My car also has most things computerized so it'll let me know on my dash when my tires need air or if the oil is low. This is especially great because I don't always keep on top of those things on my own. I also really enjoyed the $0 maintenance fees for the first 4 years or 50,000 miles in my warranty.
As much as I love my car there are some serious downsides to it. The main thing being cost. The tires are run flats and are very expensive at around $300 to $400 for each tire. It's especially expensive because you can't switch to regular tires without voiding your warranty. If there is any damage to the car the repairs are significantly higher. My insurance rates are also higher. As much fun as it is to drive my car, I'm not sure if all of these extra costs are worth it in the long run. Also, since the car is computerized I can't really do repairs on my own. It needs to be taken into a shop and hooked up to another computer to diagnose it and fix. Only then will the repair/oil/maintenance warning lights turn off.
