I have always dreamed of having a bmw because it has been in our family for around 25 years. That same car is still driving to this day with over 200,000. When I purchased mine with 130,000 miles. I loved the way it drives and how it handles the road and curves. I had my brother who owns a lincoln continental 1991 same year as mine and he test drove it for around 80 minutes and he told me that he should purchase this car and looked at him and said we are car shopping for me not you. he said this bmw drove better then his car. So I bought it and love. I never have any issues and my bmw now has over 161,000 miles and still going strong.
Awesome Vehicle

I brought this vehicle in 2016 (5 years ago) with 43k miles from a collector. Used it as the main car for travelling over the period. Car is close to 90k miles now. Since I would use the car for frequent travelling, I changed virtually very part that would normally go with time... cooling system, brakes, suspension, gaskets every where. I did have to replace the automatic transmission kit. Only corrective maintenance. All good quality/ branded parts. From this point the car rode like new, and was very reliable. For me it was a pleasure driving this car. Now that the story is told, the positive aspects: (a) Easy to find good brands parts, at reasonable price - with rockauto and ECStunning I could get it all; (b) Maintenance is pretty straight forward, no complex electronics; (c) quality of parts is amazing, there is virtually no chinese part whatsoever, evene the batery of the keys where made in germany, so every thing works in the car unti now (d) Styling - a classic. Negative aspects: The only point is that it is under powered for the weight. The in line 6 M50 engine is bullet proof, great sound and feel, but will need high RPMs to gain any speed. The transmission is kind of lazy, so I normally down shifted manually. For modern standards it is slow. Will catch up a 2021 toyota corolla only after 120 mph, and long after the race begins...
