Anyone have any experience with BMW cars?

Purely anecdotal. Mr88GT works with several guys who just had to have the BMW. Every last one of them knows his car intimately due to the repeated need to have it repaired. It's not uncommon for him to say "So and so's Beemer is in the shop again." Lack of maintenance is not a reason for most of these either.

Well, when the letter B starts being pronounced b/i/, you can try to convince me otherwise. Until then.....

I decided to buy an Audi.

I decided to buy an Audi.

Out of the boiling pot, into the fire. Is it too late to talk you into a BMW? And sadly, no i am not joking.

I've not shaken hands with anyone, signed any papers or passed along any money so nothing is carved in stone.

But I'm wavering between the A6 and the A7, both with the 3.0 supercharged 6. Leaning toward the A6.

The xDrive on the 535i is clearly inferior to the Quattro. The 535i has one redeeming quality, a bigger trunk. Virtually all the car reviews are now proclaiming the A6 as the king of the mid-size luxury performance sedans.

I'll definitely give Audi a big thumbs up in the interior. They've also come a long way recently with reliability. One of the guys I work for just got an A8L. It's the third A8 that someone there has picked up in the last couple years. He also had an S8 a few years ago. I think you will be happy whichever route you choose to go.

I might consider going from my 328i coupe to the A5 coupe when the time comes, nice lines.

I've got 2 BMWs a 323ic and a 540i, both completely reliable, fantastic cars. Parts cost is not an issue as long as you don't buy OEM from the dealer. Not that I've had to buy many parts.
