Was one of my favorites, some local shops can dave money in general maintenance. Or you could do it yourself. Almost got a 2010 750. Stay away from perillo.

How much work can an average home mechanic do on a 750?

My friend bought a 2010 3 series cabrio and he paid extra for wheel insurance and something else which sound like a waste of $, but he has had to replace two wheels and two tires within 6 months. Some people have crappy luck with cars and others rarily need any service.

Can't say I am a big fan of the marque. Personally, there are only a few BMW's that are striking to me; X6 and Z4. Kind of dig the X3 too. There's a BMW dealer 1.5 miles from my house.

Another friend is leasing a 7 series you'd drool over. It was a special order with unique brown leather over black that the original buyer backed out of. He got like 25K off of MSRP so his lease rates are like $900 a month on 100K+ car!

Yup, had a XJ8 Vanden Plas (which I sold to my accountant and he is loving it), and now have an XK coupe. Jag still caters to the car smoker. Owner’s manual calls it a cigar ash tray, the VDP had ashtrays everywhere along with lighters and even the XK it is easy to smoke a cigar in!

For me, the Brit’s are making the best looking and reliable cars in their history. I’ll put any of the imported to USA British marques against any car from Germany, USA or Japan in terms of fit, finish, quality and of course design.
