Awesome Drive Exp Awful Maint

No doubt BMW's are fun to drive but they are very pricey to maintain. I have a 2008 528xi. Have spent over $7000 in last 18 months and my car is worth less than that. It has approx. 122k miles, not much from BMW standards. If you plan to buy a BMW be prepared to pay for maintaining it. End of the day you have to decide what matters more for you - driving fun or money in your pocket which in BMW's case is more than other even German cars.

Distorted rear window images

Handsome car, however potential safety hazard! Images are distorted through the rear window when driving at night. Thought the problem was related to poor tint job from dealership at first. Had tint removed and problem still exists. Sad news is that dealership (Vista Motors) insists they have never encountered this problem. Any advice would be helpful.

528i is the best

This is my third BMW in a row because I love this brand. I know from the salesperson I went to for my new to me 2016 528i that once a BMW person always a BMW person...his words not mine...and it is true. I had a 1995 530i , Black Beauty, then a 2008 328i, Silver Bullet, and now a 2016 528i, White Lightning. There is just something that I cannot explain abour the fact that once you have had a BMW in your life it becomes the only car you will ever want to own.
