I vote "buy". They're nice cars and they hold value beautifully.

I've driven one before.. the new S.. BLAST TO DRIVE. It feels like RWD.


Ditch the 135i (frigging overpriced ugly ass)

There are a few FWD cars i don't mind buying : EK Hatch, ITR and mini cooper S.

The one reason i would not buy 1 is beacuse a lot of my girl-friends drive Mini and they have TOOOOONNNNNNs of cute shit in it i hate driving the same car as them.

135 = BMW wanted 4k down and $650 a month for 3 years with 10k miles a year. Fucking ridiculous for a $35k car

My next car will be an 06 MCS hopefully a JCW so I can't stop you either! I had my sights on a SICK JCW (negotiated down to 25.5K but he sold it a couple of days ago, I would have bought it if I didnt have 3 more damned payments on this POS Accord!!!

Heres a picture of the one that got away:



My girlfriend has an 06 MCS Convertible, decked out with mostly everything except JCW parts... VERY very nice commuter car.

This is hers:



I'm not a fan of the newer coopers (post-2006 aka R56's)
