    Any pictures from the meet?

    I'd love a BMW... but those in my price range to buy aren't in my price range to repair!

      my friend took some pics ill see if i can post them up later... they actually have pretty good deals on them when you have the warranty but yeah the guys coilovers today were probably around the same price as to buy a decent cb ($1700)

          There are coilovers for the CB that cost that much too.

          The thing is, we have lots of cheap knockoff parts. BMW owners can and will usually pay for the quality parts, so there's less of a market for knockoff crap. A newer BMW owner isn't going to run $50 ebay coilover sleeves.

          But yeah, they generally cost more to modify, repair, and maintain. Well worth it if it's within your budget... I'm doing alright for myself, but I have other priorities when it comes to my money, so a BMW would be more of a drain than I'd care to take on. My next car will be a Cadillac, and I won't be doing much to modify it. The CB will get all the modifications.

              I like the newer bimmers myself. Each new model grows on me, as I didn't care for them too much when they first came out.

              The new M3 is just crazy... I keep reading in Car and Driver about it being the best car ever made... I want one!

                  Yeah, it's a twin turbo I6 against an NA V6 and two turbo 4s. The Evo and STi could probably take it off the line, though.

                    i plan on getting an alpine white 335i in the near future.

                    basically with bmw if you can afford it, then you can afford the expensive parts.

                      I just looked into the 335i earlier today. I can get a first year for about $22,000 with a manual transmission and 75,000 miles.

                      I'd LOVE a BMW someday... but I'd buy it new, with a warranty... and sell it before I have to worry about fixing anything out of my own pocket. That, or I'll get an E30, because they're much cheaper to fix, maintain, and upgrade these days.

                          They just don't want to fix it after 100k!

                          My old calculus professor had an e30 (or maybe it was an E28...) with 350k on it... and the original clutch JUST went (he said he'd have gotten another 50k out of it if he didn't loan the car to his friend that didn't know how to drive stick!)

                          BMW makes great cars, but like any machine, they DO break, and they DO have to be fixed...

                            Hey hey hey. These cars aren't bad after 100K

                            Unless you get an M...it probably was used as it was built to..

                            Last BMW meet I was at, there were a ton of different people from all ages. The older ones weren't dicks, either. Everyone was really open to everyone else, it was a cool deal.
