One of wife's friends has BMW X5 - 5yrs old, 37k ish miles. Conked out at w/end.

BMW reckon box has had it and want three grand to fix.

I've said for a long time BMW's are over rated... but I'd still have one or two of their range. They do make some lovely looking cars... M5, Z4 for instance.

Sorry, Hellfire I think the Z4 looks hideous!
I'd rather drive a Boxster (and I'm not a hairdresser!)

...looks aside,the bmw stuff is very well made.I'm having deep dealings with a E46 compact at the moment.Under the skin its very well done.I belive the dealers make the prices high.The parts for the BM are cheaper than eqivalant parts of a Citreon.I.e a quarter panel is £177 for the compact,Its a Freaking large panel.A Picasso quarter is about £150.Carbon filter Bm.£24.Cit £46.Good eh?

And they make fantastic donorsRear wheel drive!
