So thanks to those who made sensible comments and understand the differences.

No doubt, the BMW's are great drivers cars, but higher quality than Acura?, I don't think so. Check out any reliability stats and none of them will show BMW ahead of Acura. I had an M3 and loved driving it but I knew it would not be as a reliable as an Acura. The BMW's are no longer worth the premium they charge and have been having some pretty significant quality problems as of late.

As far as the Vette comment goes... are you smoking crack? I have a very close friend with a C6 Z06... what a performer! Too bad it was in the shop more than it was on the road and they finally lemon law'd the thing. Have you ever sat in a Chevy car before? Hell the TL blows it away in quality.
The others on the board talking the smack about BMW wouldn't do so if they were driving one. They're great cars, and are rock solid. I left a 3 series e46 for the TL and after a year decided I just didn't want to live with the thin materials and annoying torque steer.
For the guy who asked why not an M3... the Roadster is actually faster than the M3 due to less weight, has the M3 CSL brakes which are phenomenal, and I wanted a little convertible I could toss around. I really dislike the looks of the M3 vert, though I love the coupe. This is only to hold me over until the V8 M3 comes out.
And for all of those complaining about BMW quality, how many times must I mention that I only own the cars while in warranty, so I could really care less about how much it will cost for the next guy to repair it out of warranty. I buy a new car about every 2 years on average. My next car will either be the Cayman (I know, a girls car!) or the V8 M3 (yep... girls car!)
Unfortunately guys, I see more women driving TLs than men, so YOUR comments are the pot calling the kettle black.
What else girls?

Congrats on the new ride.
I would dump the car as soon as the warranty expires. BMW labor rate is 130/hr.
Anyway, as always, our 3G guys have found away to see you off in a fashion that speaks for itself...
Take care...
