I hear what you are saying but it just goes to show that my experience with the GM brand (one car in fact) is different than yours and my expericne with my BMW (one car again) is also different than yours. One persons junk is another person's dream. I can only go by my experiences and others I have talked with who have not had great experiences with GM quality, but that doesn't mean the whole lineup is bad. Same for BMW.

When I get my 35d I will judge it based on my experiences and see if this car is as good as I have read. If it's anything like my 335 (even with a minor thing here and there) I am sure I will be happy.

btw.. I love the Round Rock area. I've been to Dell many times for work and probably only other place I would want to live besides CO.
