It's ok to disagree.... You have points and I have mine....
You have the advantage of owning more Bimmers than me... Bottom line we are both blessed.. Not everyone can say that.
Im still undecided what's the replacement for my m54.. I will wait until i can't afford the repairs anymore... Not liking the F series body for now maybe the future ones .....
My dad owns a couple but he sold his 7 series with n62, all sorts of things / gremlins appeared, it's beyond our skills or means to take down the engine and do the repairs... This has become a money pit...no Brainer but to part ways... And I did say case to case basis...
we both hit a nerve and will continue to disagree... But that's ok
It's either we move on or continue this thread ( endless loop)
Maybe we have a common point on detailing
but I have to wait until the weather is settled here in chitown

If anything, as an owner of a 3.0 for 7 years, I championed the i6. I still miss it when my next door neighbor who bought it drives it down the street. All of that time spent polishing the paint, treating it right, and getting the maintenance done when it should still shows. I've even written about how the i6 has some things better in my experience than the (allmighty) 4.8is here.
See? It is possible to understand and appreciate more than one perspective. In fact, you can even hold more than one perspective as your very own. Thinking (and going so far as to suggest) that every N62 will have troubles that an owner doesn't expect or that will be too expensive (really? you know what 'expensive' is to everyone else?) is just myopic. And, as I have suggested all along, doesn't help anyone. No. It does not. |
