JOB SECURITY....I drive a VW. I would NEVER, even if they GAVE me one, own a BMW. NEVER. If it's a lease, maybe. Hand it back after you had your fun. Like marriage, everyone has to do it ONCE. After that, can't say I told you so.....

Jeez I see you dont like bmw. Guess they come in with serious service issues.

The problem is they have so much technology, that they force the owner to get it serviced ONLY at the dealer.
Some poor schmuck put a battery in his own car, like a 2008. Had to bring it back to the dealer to PROGRAM it. That just cost him $150. in labor. Had to register the battery with the cars computer.
Lease wise, they are great. IF you have another car to depend on. All maintenance is covered, services, brakes, etc.

Good to know. I'll stick with my beatup old Honda. (Teacher's car). Especially now I've got my chicken bumper sticker on it! Off to job #2. Gotta make money for chicken feed!

Vinny's a car dealer and just loves that body style. We never keep a car more than a year so the miles dont rack up too high

Well, if he gets the BMW, you can use it against him with chicken negotiating.

Welcome Birdies! I think you may be too far north for this thread, but you're always welcome to stay! We are closer to NYC.
What kind of birdies do you have?

I dont have to use it against him. He knows it makes me happy & looks the other way when I rush to the post office to pick up a new silkie and doesnt mention all the gas money when I go galavanting all over to look/buy birds. I do have to fib a little bit about how much a bird cost but he's ok with my birds as long as they are not in the house too long. He's a good guy and deserves the car he likes. We went to Carlisle Pa. for a big car show two weeks ago & I fell in love with an 87 monte aero coupe but walked away from it because it was double what I paid for my black 87 monte. That night he called the guy and bought it for me just because he knew I liked it better in white. He's a keeper and I can still say that after being married 29 years to him this nov.
