I've been driving Bimmers for over 15 years, every car purchased used- from orig owner/private party, no warranty. I DIY a good deal. If you are rigorous about service and preventative maintenance cars are solid and reliable, I drove 2 of my older 5 series sedans in excess of 200K miles without any major failure/breakdown. (6 cyl non-turbo motors) They are reliable but not if one neglects proper service. They drive/handle better than the Asian brands. |

One of the biggest reason I want to own the car for 7-10 years is because I don't want to deal with the hassle of selling a "used car" just to buy another used car. I just feel like that would be a really big headache which is why I'd prefer to just buy it and hold on to it for as long as I can, and the only car that I can think of that will make me happy for holding it onto that long would probably be the 440i. But I'm also considering Lexus because it just seems more financially responsible and makes more sense if my end goal is to spend as little money on cars the next 7-10 years to build up my savings for M3/M4. |

Also - I like the M package aesthetic stuff so I would like to just get something that all comes with it. |

Also I will take into your consideration of the 340i, but I personally like the looks of the 440i (mainly because i think it looks more aggressive with the fenders) and somewhat seems like a budget version of an M3/M4. |

I think the 4-series is a great choice. I highly recommend you evaluate the options to ensure you get those that matter to you, it will make the vehicle so much better especially if you are keeping. Premium, Sport or M-Sport, and Lighting Package. Be willing to go the distance to get what you want. As reference, I have owned Honda's and Acura's but once I drove the BMW, I never looked back. Honda has a great product, but they do not drive as good.

To the OP, Check out infiniti Q60's and Q50's. They are very nice cars that should fit your budget. Last edited by Randy Johnson; 05-08-2020 at 01:58 PM.. |
