By the way HighlandPete, it is good to see someone from your area here as my ancestors are from your area a few generations back. Actually, there is quite a bit of Scottish influence in this area. |

What? Are you 100% sure you can't do that in Honda Accord?

No offense, but my most entertaining moments with the car don't involve coffee, highway and music.

I put on 20k a year.
I know people who have "beaters" for their commute. F-that. The commute is WHEN I want I nice car. I'd drive the beater on the weekends for running errands. On second thought, no I wouldn't. |

you are putting easy miles on it - drive it until it becomes more expensive to fix and then trade it in. You spend enough time in it that you should enjoy your car!

Every once in a while I'll drive my 2000 Subaru Legacy wagon with 169K miles to work. Every time I do, I remember why I bought my BMW! Life's too short to drive shit cars! |

I drive a lot too, but I got a plugin Prius for my work driving. Literally I save $500 on gas a month versus driving my 335i BMW.
That's the combo I recommend, 335 for fun! Honestly, the BMW is too focused and high strung to enjoy in day to day traffic, it's better on open or curvy roads. The Prius for me is far better in traffic, easier to drive around stop and go. And it has the toys my BMW has too. Plus, saves my smile for when I get back into the BMW and go. |

I personally think you made the right call by getting a new 328i, I would never buy a used M3 for 43k especially with 35000+ miles when the new one is on the verge of coming out. Also, the new 328i performs as well as a E46 M3. You can easily sell in the third year of ownership while the car is still under warranty and get more money back as compared to selling right when the warranty expires. I'm thinking of selling in the third year and get whatever M-performance version of the 3-series comes out by then, hopefully diesel. |
