Yea, I know...another NON-ford thread! I just picked up an E39 and am pretty excited about it. Super comfortable ride and it feels so stable on the road. Truly a driver's car! Anyone else here have a Bimmer? I plan to keep this pretty stock and just ride it as is, but I may get the bug to start modding the exterior...wheels, drop, exhaust? ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

I bought an E46 BMW 323ci about a year ago as a daily driver, it is definitely different than a mustang, but so far it has been a good car, it's a 5-speed with a clutch so I really enjoy driving it.
Pros:
Great on gas, looks decent, not too hard to maintain compared to benz, porsche, etc. Handles like a beauty too!
Cons:
Parts can be expensive. Something to look out for it rear subframe failure because it was a common problem in the e39/e46 generations. I had to repair the whole rear subframes but now that I fixed them, they are bullet proof.

I used to have an e36 318is and that thing was bulletproof like a mofo! I never did any maintenance other than fill up the oil (since it burned like crazy lol) and has it up. That car was the best DD I had!
This e39 I have is a alpine white 528i, auto, clean title, etc. Pretty clean an it drives great! Definitely not a mustang but it handles nearly as good as my MM-setup Faleen. It's very impressive.

I had an E60 545i sport package, and loved it. except for the repairs that would pop up...like when i had to replace a waterpump for 1k...luckily i had mechanical breakdown coverage thru mercury and they covered 800 of it. i saw that as a bad sign, and as soon as i put a new waterpump in, i traded it for my ls2 chevy waaaay cheaper to maintain imo

Currently have a 2008 328i. My warranty runs out this month. I am afraid to find out how much the extended warranty will cost.

nice! Do you have the front and rear M5 bumpers on there? Do you know if there are any lips that are available to add to the stock front bumper?

Nice line up of E34's! Did you just sell that white one within the past 2 months or so? I think I saw it on Sac CL with different wheels ![[Confused]](confused.gif) I know the one that was on CL was pretty nicely done but had 240k+ miles or something like that.

sweet bimmers fellas! Looks like most of your cars are dropped. Are you guys running coilovers or lowering springs? If springs, what brand/model are you guys running? I want to drop mine but not too low...

Very nice! That's true inspiration for me to do the m5 bumpers lol! Are your bumpers oem or aftermarket? What suspension are you running?
