Why would you not get a 10 yr old BMW? I've had a 20 year old one and I have a 5 year old one now. I'll own it when it's ten years old. People act like vehicles shouldn't have upkeep. It's a mechanical device with consumables that need to be serviced and replaced. It's more expensive to replace those consumables because they are better. Not a hard concept. If you maintain it will drive great forever. Or you could buy a POS and throw it away after 7 years, but again that one always drove like shite.

The problem buying used (from someone you don't know) is you don't know how the car was treated before you bought it.

I also agree. Mine is a 04 and now after all of this its still in great form. I would rather my awesome handling vehicle than a beater fir maintenance. It is slightly more expensive for upkeep but the returns are far superior.

We've had bmw's in the family since 99 and they have been fantastic all the time.
