Picking up my 08 4.8 this Thursday should I go through with it?

[jasonrhcastle]

no worries... Honey

I saw that too late, was hoping no one else had... LOL

I actually wanted priority one options so I would have had to order it regardless...

Well, early congrats on the new car.

thanks... Test drove one yesterday, along with a beast (both sticks) and forgot how much fun manuals were. Seems like a lot of clutch travel though.

so i have this 2003 F350 6.0l diesel i'll sell you. you are kidding right dude. i traded that truck 7 months after i bought it for a 2004. down time is expensive.

had a Honda civic '92 i believe, it was a first year and numerous problems. funny thing is "old wives" seem to know what they are talking about. don't believe me? ask mine.

sorry, this is a BMW board...poster said first model year BMW.

i have no doubts you had problems with a ford and a honda, and i am not a buyer of either brand, but thanks for the offer.

sorry, i forgot BMW has been touched by the hand of God. they have no quality issues.

Think about what you just wrote...tired of reading this on boards. Well, truth be told, people don't just make this stuff up. Talk to any BMW technician and get the real story. Ask someone that purchased a "02" 745il and see what they tell you. It's really not the mechanical things, it's all of the tech stuff. Read this and other boards and you'll soon realize that you'll need a software download for something before you are done reading this post. Don't get me wrong, I'm a die-heart BMW driver. I'm on my 5th one in 9 years. None have been fresh out of the design center.......Phil
