| I have a owned a 325xi wagon for about six years. Bimmerfest La-Z-Link is my homepage for the BMW. They are actually very realiable, and if you do your own work, relatively inexpensive. Mine is a DD and its a beautiful blend of sport ride and comfortable cruising. BMW has figured out how to blend suspension and handling into a driver oriented package. I would find a car at 50L miles coming off warranty. Original owners begin to get scared about high dealership repair costs, but haven't yet located a good BMW independent shop. PS> I would spend more than $10k. $15+ is the starting point for a good E46. E39's, however, are also pretty nice cars... just not as much car for the money as an E46. gordo
