Last repair bill on my out of warranty 07 BMW 550i sent me off the edge bringing the repair cost total to 50% of the car's resale value. Thing only had 65k on it too and looked flawless. Pity the motor, transmission and suspension wasn't as pristine!
Anyhoo, I traded it Friday night for a 2010 F150 Platinum. I take delivery today or tomorrow (they're going through it to replace tires, hoses, belt, fluids, etc.). Should be a great vehicle for trailering the boxster to the track and to NC on vacation in the future
I'll post pics soon!
PS - I will never again own a BMW out of original factory warranty. Lesson learned!
