BMW makes good cars, but they attract the young and showy crowd.

BMW's safety standards have declined. If you wish to burn money on a luxury German car, get a Mercedes or Audi instead.

I owned a Beemer and learned the hard way. It's a piece of crap. Unreliable and ridiculously expensive to maintain. I wouldn't mind if the maintenance was value for money but it wasn't. The electrical faults that cropped up on a regular basis all required modular replacements eg when dashboard light wasn't working it meant changing the whole instrument panel at the cost of $1200 rather than a $5 bulb.

It was during this period of my life that I decided I was being taken for a sucker trying to maintain an image of "success". I changed my mindset, bought a 2nd hand Toyota Corolla and have not looked back.

Since then every single car I've owned has been a Toyota I've been through 7 of them and none missed a beat. My "image" has plunged but my bank account is very healthy.

mercedes is just as crappy as bmw. in the german auto hierarchy, audi is a notch above mercedes and bmw in terms of quality and reliability. of course above audi is porsche, the apex of german autos.

Audi is just as crappy. I owned an S5 and had 2 faults within the first 3 years warranty period. By the 3rd year when I hit 145k, the gear changing was already showing signs of imminent breakdown.

 

[LordElrond]

In fact Audi is the cheapest in terms of speed per dollar compared to Merc and Bemeer in Sinkieland. Not sure about elsewhere.

 

[LordElrond]

Ever since I switched to Bianchi, I have never looked back since.

was your s5 the older coupe model with a 4.2l fsi v8 engine? or was it a convertible or sportback with a supercharged 3l tfsi v6 engine? all s5’s (in fact s models) are crap. the a models fared better but still crap. my 2nd car was an audi sedan and it had so many electrical issues. their suvs or q models are much better.

Avoid the Canyon aero. It has a major design defect. Searching for the vid now that describes the problem.

in sillycon valley, audis are more sexpensive and more popular among higher ses tech workers. fob techies from shitdia and prc love bmws and mercs. they are so common that they look so cheap.
