The Mercedes I owned was the biggest piece of crap EVER

I've a friend who had the same experience. We have, though, a 3 year old BMW 3 series that's one of the best handling/driving cars I've ever owned. So far we've had no problems and it hasn't cost us a cent in maintenance (free oil/filter changes and no tune-up till over 100K miles :-) I wouldn't own a 5, 6 or 7 series, though. What I'd really like, though, is a 4wd Accord if they made one.

My wife and I drive 2001 BMW's purchased new: mine is an X5; hers is a 525. Superb cars. Not sure what a 6 series looks like.
