She heard a loud bang

Mine makes that same sound. (Wife not car).

I just teased her that any time a tire is low on air or ice freezes a window and "the horror" she can't go through Starbucks drive through for "an entire day" her go-to complaint is "get a new car"

We've spent less than $80/month repairing her 18 yr old e53 for going on 3 years which is amazing to me what other car could do that!?

Mine is about 9 months younger just about to turn 17 (based on production month) and has only averaged $40/mo with some substantial repairs involved like all 8 rotors the disa valve alternator thermostat coolant reservoir a couple of door handle carriers etc.

I have to explain that we would pay more in car payments in half a year for a newer car that would cost more in repair and more in insurance.

We have full coverage on both our cars $0 deductible comprehensive for $100/mo total. That's not happening with a newer car. I'm looking for my next X5 always. I'd like to find one with 100,000 miles from 04ish year just to reset the clock a bit but my goal is to get to 280,000 to double the purchased miles on my first x5
