                  Dont buy anymore BMW's. Simple 🙂

                  Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
                  Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
                  Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
                  Torque is how far you take the wall with you

                                listen to consumer reports, German cars are the worst for reliability and are in the shop more than any others. Jims cars are proof of this.

                                  Shit I've had mine for just over a month and had to dump $1400 into it.

                                  The only German cars I'd ever buy are VW and Audi. My uncle in California has owned all kinds of Benz's and BMW's and he's had problems with every one of them, so he bought himself and his wife a couple Porsche's instead.

                                      I've never had a problem with my TA (mechanically) and none with my Regal (cept the speakers suck)

                                      There ya go Jim, you should trade up (or, I guess down) your SLK for a regal!!!

                                        Everyone I've known that's had German cars has been really satisfied with VW and Audi, way more so than BMW or Mercedes. They haven't had any major problems at all. Their reliability isn't ranked very high, but I haven't personally known of anyone with any huge issues unless they beat the piss out of them. Of all the bad things I've heard about German cars, the vast majority of them have been about Mercedes being cheaply made and literally falling apart.

                                          I've got a friend who's 05 Passat turbo is in Valley Imports as we speak to get another engine installed and she babies the car. She's sick to her stomache because VW may not take care of the engine under warranty because she is missing one or two oil change reciepts.
