I drove a E36 M3 that I got new for years and it was a great car. I would not touch any BMW these days. The plastic look and the poor interior quality would drive me nuts. Several of my work mates have the new 5 that they lease and all of them have pealing climate control buttons/ scratched and peeling interior plastic and the leather looks worn out after a few years. BMW's are a dime a dozen and everyone has one (Mercedes are now the same way). BMW service is a joke and if you do buy one make sure they are doing what they say they are. The service I got on my M3 was sub-par and they cant keep my girlfriends 08 5 series on the road. Biggest piece of crap ever. She got it new and wants to trade it for a Tahoe (haha).

Since I've just moved to the middle east (the cops use the new 5 series BTW). I will most likely get a Carrera 4S or a new E63. Time will tell, need to wait for my visa to go through before I can buy anything.
