Yeah, I drive a used Beemer too, but it's an SUV so it didnt hang in corners that well. For everyday "pasar car" we have a Honda, realiable and cheaper to fix if you ding it. Put in it this way, I rather be stuck in a traffic jam for 3 hours in a Beemer than any japanese car (except the harrier, I have a soft spot for that car :p ). It's more comfy and command a little more respect hehehe.. lol @ proton GL comment… so true.

Anyway, I do own a used German car and a Japanese one aka Toyota, which the latter gives me a trouble free and cheap to maintain.
