oh ya i forgot they are both 03 thank god the lease is over

 

We've owned 6 BMW's. Never had a problem with any of them. they ranged from a 3 series, to an X3.

Just like every car maker, there are some people who have bad experiences with them, but then there are others who have great experiences with them.

Well except for GM, Ford, and Dodge, they just all suck.

 

My family had a 99 328i for 6 years and the only problems it had were the notorious window regulators.

Anecdotal evidence means nothing.
