The BMW and Audi club instructor groups of which I have been a member for over a decade would beg to differ. And your credentials are ...?
You're buttuming they're driven by their average owners. I am about as far from that average as you can imagine.
Daimler-Chrysler-made pieces of poo, to be precise. In fact, it's about as reliable as anything I've had; and that includes everything from Audi to Toyota. German, Swedish, Japanese, American, Japanese-American (NUMMI), even Jaguar. It's certainly in a different universe of reliability from the *Italian* car I owned - and sold with only 12K miles on it. While it is far from ideal in any sense except the color (Gotta love Inferno Red Metallic!), it was the right vehicle at the right price at the right time for us. That it continues to reliably start, run, and be outstanding in the winter (at ~68Kmiles) is the reason I will continue to drive it for as long as it is this good.
His use of the term 'Beemer' makes your conclusion redundant. Your buttumption that anyone can't afford to drive a BMW is equally inaccurate. But that's another thread. What matters here is that my BMW is old enough to vote in US elections and I therefore *choose* not to subject it to winter salt and the morons who seem to creep out of every drifted cranny when it snows around here. I know that BMWs are a ball to drive in snow, but I want to have this one around for a long time, so Da Jeepster is my winter 'beater'. -- C.R. Krieger (Been there; spun that)
