Well, objectively, it's not hard to see why there is such a bias...a guy has 40K reasons to be absolutely sold/love the car esp. if they just bought it.

Many people are like that.



I love what I generally buy too...you just won't find me being so myopic that I'd compare it to a Poopdick or something.












Okay, maybe a Porsche.

my 335 is $57k and if someone tells me it is too soft and i will agree with them and if you tell me F30 interior is no match for C400 and i will agree with you too.

If they can't take some criticisms about a car they bought, how do you think they will take criticism about them as a person in the real world.

Exhaust can be replaced. The rest of that car is sublime.

The M division completely lost their ability to correctly judge vehicles when they green-lit the X6M.

After a night of hard drinking, one of those options is much easier to clean off your living room carpet.

If you have not noticed yourself. M6 GC is all you talk about now.

Suck it up and trade in your FX50 now. The price difference is only about $40k.

um... dog house + M6GC
Or wife + FX50...

Let me rephrase that for you:
Away from Wife + M6GC
Or Bitching and naggin + Sea creature...

is that even a question?

There's some truth to this...










For the foreseeable future, anything in that price bracket is out. Just doesn't make sense financially for us. The 640i xDrive though? Very possible. I'm still at least 3 years out from a new car though.

with the way 6 series is depreciating, you probably can do an even trade for a 6 series in less than 3 years.

just make sure to buy a good extended warranty.
