Adios, CLS. I've gone to the darkside.

She treated me well, but with 130k on the clock too many things started wearing out and breaking and I just couldn't throw any more cash at it. After JUST fixing my AC system, my heater core went. I'd been thinking about getting something new(er) as I'm a commute machine, so today I picked up a 2007 BMW 328xi.



The CL treated me fantastic, I will definitely miss it and considered keeping it, but I got WAY more in trade than I expected and just couldn't pass it up. If Acura made another CL, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. I bought it with 40k or so on the clock and racked up almost 100k in just over 3 years. In that time (until recently, hah) the only thing I replaced was a headlight bulb and some ball joints, along with the freebie transmission from Acura.



I didn't post much but I got a ton of great tips and info from this site, and just wanted to say thanks to everyone for such a wealth of good information.

Cheers!

Yeah I know what u mean..Uncertainty is high as the kms rack up..It goes for any vehicle..Good luck on ur new purchase though.

I wonder why Acura is not jumping in the luxury coupe sector.They will hv to headbutt with BMW 3 series,Infinity G37 and some others but Acura can create its own market just cus of value it offers and brand loyalty..
