I spent 17 years driving BMW's. 12 different cars between the two of us. No issues. None.

That is a pretty good endorsement. My question to you is did you purchase your cars new or used? Using the above criteria average ownership was 2 to 3 years per car, my guess is some lasted longer than others.

The reason why I ask, my 2 partners went through a BMW phase, 5's and 7's. While they were wonderful cars and always impressed me when I drove them, at about 5 to 6 years old or 90k plus miles they really started to hurt maintenance / repair wise.

I owned a 1995 E36 M3 sedan, a 2000 M Coupe and a 2000 M Roadster . Didn't have them long enough to encounter major maintenance requirements or problems , but good "boulevardiers"though. Nothing like the poise and balance of a boxster for sure.

IMHO,anything with "Bavaria" in its name is a pretty good bet for fun.I've always admired the 3 series and each new model year I pray that BMW doesn't screw it up.
