MBFAM,
Your X is just getting its 2nd wind...
Get a net or, just "cover" it when you
need something down the road.

That my friend was the point.
After the honeymoon there's
nothing left but reality.

some are saying Sell it?
Hmmmmm. That's a thought...
I don't even know what it's worth.
At this point. Maybe not much.

Who's buying in this economy anyway?
Here again no telling but where i live
the chances may be a bit better.

After i sell it buy what?
Again i have to go Hmmmm.

I might change my tune when stuff
starts breaking though.....

If you like the car, I'd look into extended w'tys.
I got my E90 set up with Ext. Maint+W'ty, and I'm glad... I'm on track to drive 25K this year, and the cost of gas just got halved. :eek: My limited experience with BMW's outside of warranty is an E36, which was reliable, but when something superficial gave out, it would get costly, and the cost of a brake job makes the extended maintenance worth it, IMO...
