That man should be a car salesman :)

ok thanks man.

now im just deciding if i should sell my 07 honda accord with a trunk water leak for a dodge magnum. its not a big leak when it rains, but what if i wanna wash my car in the summer? i dont know if i wanna deal with that for years, even thow its a nice car! i test drove 2 magnums yesterday and they are amazing! my honda is paid off, so if i do decide to sell it, the money would have to go into the magnum. what would you do?

hey tyler. i dont know much on the x5, but as for the e46, i've been keeping a close eye on this generation and have read several reviews. consumer reports said that the last year of the e46 (2005) had the best reliability and overalll quality compared to the others. which makes sense because the 2005 model basically built upon all previous models receiving a newer engine, styling features, and packages that were not available for the 1999 e46. so if you had to, go with the 2005 model.

@tylercj i personally think the 2001 3-series was the best. I think they were a bit more fastiduous w/ the build quality than the later years. reason? well, they re designed it in 1999, and of course w/ every re designe there were flaws. by 2001 the flaws were all ironed out and a finished quality product was produced. after 2001, i think, but im not sure, they started cutting a few corners but not anything big. so yea 2001 id say is the best.

ok thanks. so if you could give me 1 year, what year would u say is the 3 series best year?

[CarzCrazyPG]

@tylercj yes, all bmw's from around the early 90's to about 2005 were bmw at their absolute best. those were their prime years. i can personally atest to that! earlier cars were also excelent but they're quite old now so i won't comment on them. the x5 is an excellent car! among suv's it is probably one of my top picks! im not an suv guy but if i was the x5 is def one of the best. the only thing i would warn u of however is the mpgs. if mpgs are important to you DONT buy it b/c it really sucks

[tylercj]

well i first wanted the 3 series a while back cause it had so much room. but in recent years ive wanted the x5. so what will people buy, cause the older 3 series will get higher miles and eventually will need to be replaced. why cant bmw just abide by the principle and book of rules. everyone always wants more money. so u say the 2002 bmw 3 series is 1 of the best years for the 3 series??

[tylercj]

thats awesome man!

i agree too.

i have never owned a bmw, but i have followed them for years, and i think they have greatly compromised on the new 3 series. but the car i am really obsessed with is the x5. what do u think about the x5? yes spendy, ive wanted one for 5-6 years now.

i am not just saying all of this because i own one, i am saying it because the e46 bmw's were bmw at their very best. i mean you can literally feel the quality in almost everything you touch in that car. the leather is fine, the little compartments all open up smoothly, the buttons click with a satisfying click. i had a bad coil once and had to remove it and EVEN THAT felt quality built. it had weight, and the clip that held it in was smooth and refined. bottom line is this: OLD=GOLD.
