Farewell My E- I used to call it my Lil' B though it's not small- ......Farewell....................Farewell...

Another note is that just as I thought BMW now safe to buy and has a better quality than Mercedes, a BMW associate accidentally revealed to me otherwise. Yesterday when I sold my car, I walked over to a BMW dealership next to it, thinking may be BMW is now a more reliable car. Here's the conversation I had with the BMW sales associate.

Sales Associate: We, BMW, are one of the most reliable car in the market, rank number five this year in JD Power's Quality Study, outperformer the Mercedes. You should really consider buying a 5-series this year.

I: What does the warranty cover on a BMW car?

Sales Associate: A lot. 4 yrs/ 50000mile bumper to bumper, including wear adn tare items....(and blah, blah, and blah on with lots of adjetives and verbs)

I: What happens when the warranty ends ?

Sales Associate: ( eyeing left and right, making sure that no one could over hear our conversation) To tell you the truth, you are on you own.

I: (looking surprised and speechless)

Sales Associate: well....... you look like a guy who gets a new car every four or five years so I don't think you will have any problem. Just bring the car back after five years, and I'll give you a good deal on another car.

At the end, I was very disappointed about hearing this and so was the sales associate who thought I was ready to plunge into yet another hurtle.
