I am struggling to really believe you are for real.

I have owned or currently own :

e30 325i sport (series 1 and 2)
e30 C2.7 Alpina
e30 M3
e30 M3 EVO 2
e30 M3 Sport Evo
e36 M3
e36 M3 GT
e46 M3
e46 M3 CSL
e90 M3
e34 M5
e34 M5 Touring
e39 M5
e39 530d sport
e60 M5 Touring
e53 X5 3.0d
e87 X5 35d
e92 335d Sport

How you can state that BMW have never produced anything "good"

You just havent "driven" the right ones.

Spend an hour with a CSL and then comment.

They have made cars that were truly ground breaking.

Yes I do

An E30 M3 evo2 with 32000 miles and a E30 Sport Evo with 9000 miles.

I still have my E46 M3 CSL too.

Its fair to say they are quite clean....

So reliable you have a photo of it broken down on a flat bed





Ps never owned a BMW so cant comment but can Take

Assumption is the mother of all.....

This was the day I bought it.

I collected it on the flat bed.

Just jesting

i'm glad others have noted how silly the original statement was!

sliding the Palmer M3 around Bedford is the highlight of my year

that is a very impressive collection you have had  ============
2010 TDV8 HSE - ooo laa laaaaaaaaa
2007 TDV8 HSE - superb car and very reliable
============
2012 - dearly departed, sadly missed.. to return in late 2013 with a new TDV8!

bloody hell i think we have a lottery winner looking at all those.!! me too had some great bmw's in my time and the engines are, well, bloody well put together. was really tempted to get x5 myself,use to drive my boss's.could got a newer car but you just carnt beat a rrs.! i no they can have many faults but who cares,everytime i go outside to get in mine it puts a smile on me face.!

Didn't think this thread would go off quite the way it has, but stil interesting to hear different views.

For those BMW haters, I think it is fair to say that there must be some residual BMW DNA in the current LR range from their previous involvement with the marque!

There are haters for haters sake and disappointed ones for the experiences they have had sake..........I fall into the latter, don't hate but would never buy another....a given!

.......as for the DNA, specifically on Big Daddy.......its been on rinse cycle for many years now, there's still a little base Adenine in there, nonetheless, it still remains, more the design than the components thankfully (I used to hate looking at my 2003's accelerator peddle and brakes with the BMW stamp all over them ) L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!
