[QUOTE="08mojo, post: 16579717, member: 132915"] Don't be scared by reliability and big ticket failures. The newer BMWs seems to be very reliable. I had an e46 in the past, and it too was very reliable. I sold it with 130k miles and never once had it on jackstands--the same cannot be said about my Terminator. Recently, we've had an M2, M3 and now X3M. The M2 and M3 are now gone, but they were really solid cars while in our possession. If you're looking for a sports car, I'd really consider an M2 with the N55. That engine is very reliable and so is the drivetrain. S55 is also reliable, but seems to have some concerns with the engine going out of time (rare, but talked about a lot, especially if modded). Good advice to stick with the 6 cylinder. Tough crowd, hahaha Funny enough, the one Lexus we owned was a total nightmare. I'm sure that can be said about any brand, but man what a POS my wife's IS 250 was... The X3M will surprise a lot of people, for sure. The launch sucks in the X3M because of a way too conservative torque management tune, but 10' out and the thing is a rocket. Nice! I have an X3M. I needed a better fit than a sports car, as we have moved to the mountains with lots of gravel roads and I needed something that could haul mountain bikes and other toys. The X3M is a blast, you'll love it. [/QUOTE]
