A conversation between AndyMcq and myself recently made me think.... We both owned french poo Meganes before the Beemers, and spent tones keeping them on the road due to bad engineering. I decided to buy a BMW for the simple reason, reliability. Now don't get me wrong, my BMW has over 113k on the clock and still feels brand new. But now I have spent way over 1K on making her look better. New paint, refurbed wheels ect. Just wondering, how much have you spent on your Beemer, when you didn't honestly have to?
