what's life like now as a BMW owner?

My first car was a 99 M3, and it was disasterous. from the day of delivery to the last day of the lease i was miserable with the car and the dismal service provided by BMW.

at one point my father even climbed on the service manager's desk
I swore I would never own one again

Then HIHUMMER came to town. Not wanting to hassle with my rig in the city, I took the DEMO 745 that I am supposed to share with my best buddy and sales manager. I never drive the thing.

Well I started driving it and have fallen in love.

Im toying with getting a used 7 or a new 5.\\does anyone own these vehicles? If so has BMW got their game together. I know on the 02 and 03 7 you get the 100k mile warranty.

I have the opportunity to get a silver 7 with 30k miles for $42k......

im thinking Id rather get a new 5 series, but I don't know yet

please be objective and give your honest opinions of the current BMW brand

BTW they have 24 month 5 series leases for under 650 a month

Sure he can. Not getting any trim with the Hummer, so he needs to change tactics to try to bag the dumb gold-diggers over in fairyland.

The 7 series is a very sweet ride!! But Churchy...your a hummernut...not a bimmernut! Just keep using the demo.

My dad had a 750 with the V12 years ago and that car was great. I don't know how they are now but I do love the 7 series. One of my buddies that recently got an H2 was thinking about a 7 before he got the H2. He said he is so happy with his decision to go with the Hummer instead.

Im not gonna get rid of a HUMMER....I figure Ill just drive it less, and the money I save on gas I can put towards a new car.....I do however want to switch H2's.....But I could never leave the HUMMER community!!! Im a firm believer in believing in what you sell, and I couldn't truly tell people that HUMMER is the best brand on earth, If I didn't myself drive one

whew....you scared us!

Come on now, trust me, I'm surprised I don't have the HUMMER logo tattooed on my back

The 7 series had a lot of problems, mainly electronic, the first few years. I'd say by 04 they were ironed out. The first year (04) 5 series had some issues as well but those have seemed to be fixed with updates and/or the 05.

My recommendation - get the 550i and throw the Hamann kit on it. Can't go wrong with the new 360HP either.

Here's a pic. 0-60 in 5.4. Not bad.
