"Newest wife" or new car for my wife?

I test drove a GR86 (BRZ) & a low miles E90 BMW. Liked the BMW better for it's power steering system, comfort, & smooth power delivery at 1/3 the cost. AWD is also handy in the PNW. That being said, the BRZ is a cool car. I would recommend test driving an older BMW 3 Series (E90 N52) if you...

Comrade, I reccomend the Vostok Amphibia.

Look for a low miles BMW with an N52 inline 6 engine. For under $13k you can get a great performance car.

I bought winter tires off Craigslist for the Bimmer yesterday. Hakka's on BMW aluminum rims. Years of life left for this car that is not driven as a commuter.

Great deal. I just bought a near mint 2011 328i Xdrive for $13k. 36k miles with full service records, 1 owner, also drives like a new car. No regrets, these luxury cars sell for $60k new Was this car garaged?

Just bought a quart today to leave in the trunk of my 328ix.

I live near the Canadian border in the PNW. Vancouver Craigslist is stocked full of luxury car wheels, especially BMW.

Craigslist is a goldmine right now for factory wheels! Dozens of great deals in the PNW, mostly mounted with snow tires. Many sellers have returned thier leased vehicle & need to get wheels out of the garage.

Customers believe the Valvoline branded product is superior & pay more for it. Off brand oils could cut into the branded oil business model.

Valvoline would certainly want us to believe that they are different. Would love to see a lab analysis.

The most important tool for a BMW owner (beside wads of cash). A Snap-on E10 1/4 low profile socket. From fleabay.

This is why the Xdrive versions are so popular in the PNW. But we don't live in the rust belt.

Good point. I Just bought a 2011 328xi with 36k on the clock. The first owner sadly passed away from cancer. Mine might see 5k yearly going forward, because I walk to work. Last year I drove 2k on my Toyota, but we put 10k on my wife's truck. Low miles Bimmers are pretty easy to find.

I remember pulling out the choke to start up my dad's 1972 Fiat Spyder. Fun car, but truly a death trap.

The "infotainment" systems seem to be a major weakness.
