murphy's law...

things tend to go out on my car on long trips. alternator, water pump, engine mount... only makes sense that since my spring drive to dallas is coming up in a few months, it'll go out somewhere in the middle-of-nowhere arkansas.

what I do and did
 

buy it, drive it, break it, fix it ........repeat ........period. GREAT CAR

Don't worry. Be happy.

You can own a Porsche Boxster for 10+ years before you spend as much as you did on the purchase price of a 335i.

I am on year 3 of ownership and I spent only about $2200 on repairs and maintenance. At my current 94,000 miles, it has been a healthy and reliable car. And I drive it hard every day, even with the engine cold, and I tracked it in autox and the track and I regularly attempt top speed runs.
