About 6 years ago, I drove my step brother's 2001 750il. Until then, BMW might as well have been ??? to me. Three days later, we were talking about me buying it, but, well... a Cert. BMW Mech. said something prophetic to me: "That 750il? If you can't afford it new, you can't afford it used." So I balked. Until last Tue., when I bought the 2011 135i MSport conv.
The 750il was an uh-MAZING ride -- that beast had everything you could imagine, 65,000 mi, and I could've had it for $12,000...
...and until last week I always regretted it. Then I took the 135 to its name-speed at about only 4,000 RPMs.
I am truly in heaven.
