I bought a little BMW z-3 convertible in 2002 or so. Still thrilled with it.

I will drive it until it falls apart. I often hear people talk of cars as "investments", which is absolutely nuts. An investment gains value. Cars do not, usually. There are exceptions, of course.

I buy for comfort and a pleasurable experience. I happen to like BMW's. We could have gotten any brand I suppose, but BMW's have been very reliable for me. Second best has been Lexus.

One friend had an Escalade and warned me against ever buying one. Another friend insists that BMW (My choice) is utter garbage and that Jaguar or Mercedes are the way to go. Yet another friend says my Mercedes friend is a dipshit.

All comes down to individual choice, I guess.

My wife has a BMW 7 Series, I have the old Z-3, and we have an Isuzu Rodeo for hauling shit around. I am pretty happy with all of them. When they break I will probably replace them with newer models of the same, rather than risk a change. I will test a bunch of others though.
