Hi guys. Doug, first thing we did was go to consumer reports (we pd. online), very useful, good ratings. Kathy, is the 635 the convertible? I looooove it!! I always liked Beamers and thought I'd get one eventually. What brought me to these decision was that I've considered buying an old vette (Stingray yrs-68-73) for awhile. Just as a weekend around town car. John (along w/practically everyone else) convinced me to buy something NEW, w/warranty, reliable, blah blah blah. And I do love the car, now just have to order it. I'm stuck on colors (red, black, grey...) decisions decisions :banana: :banana:
