Oh, how I regret this purchase.

After decades of owning cars like Ford Fusion and Hyundai Sonata I was tricked into believing that a BMW would be a true step up into something called the ultimate driving machine. After owning the car for a year I can say that I hate it and I would never buy another one. It is too cramped. Tapping the brakes is an all-out assault on the senses as they're too sensitive. The 8 speed transmission is pretty harsh. The backup camera is nearly useless at night as the images too grainy. The headlights are horrible. There is no spare tire or even a place to put a spare tire. The dashboard controls are strangely located. There is no way to lock the Dual climate control temperature settings. The list just goes on of the things that annoying me to no end that have been implemented for decades by other manufacturers in a better fashion. In the end I sold it back to the BMW dealership in less than 18 months and I was happy to see it go!

This vehicle is outstanding in every way, my biggest tip is maintaining the proper maintenance. Take care of your car and she’ll take care of you. Another thing is DO NOT go cheap with parts or consumables for your vehicle, Quality is key.

BMW coupe with M trim package

Bought a BMW with 70K miles on auction without a test drive. My first BMW. I did expect much more power. Road noise is pretty high on the highway (of course when it's over 80 mp/h). Interior with M trim is nothing special but fancy names for black plastic dash. Radio control is VERY confusing and 90's style interior. Small storage space and trunk. I am very sorry for those who paid $40K for this car when it was new. Parts for a coupe are hard to find (including used) and they are extremely-extremely expensive comparing to sedan version (good luck finding headlights or rear/stop lights). I feel like Honda Accord 2007 and up has an equal or even more amount of power. Only 2 good things about this car: 1- people are jealous and wanna race with me and 2- Sound system. I sold a car after one month of my ownership.
