Thus far nothing major has gone wrong with the car. I am annoyed by the Check Engine light though. It comes on and off often when I drive long distances on the highway. Apparently, it has to do with the quality of gas, even though I always use Premium grade. The problem got bad enough where I bought my own diagnostic meter to reset the light whenever necessary.

I love the car. The six speed manual is awesome. Gas mileage is OK on the highway, but not too friendly when you drive a lot within the city. What I love the most about the car is the ability to take almost any sports sedan on curvy roads.

For a BMW, the ride sure is uncomfortable. The overall package and the driving pleasure easily allows one to over look the uncomfortable seats.

Absolutely nothing (Knock on wood)!!!

This is the classiest coupe design by BMW. Beautiful lines inside out, gorgeous from every angle.

The car has a perfect balance, does whatever you want it to do, on the road or on a track. Get the Dinan performance software, the dealer can download it into your car for $400, it will push your car from it's 129mph governor limit to a natural 155mph on track.

This car accelerates like a jet all the way to its top speed, very stable and quiet at high speed.

The manual clutch is not as easy to drive as the Acura or Hondas, takes a bit of practice to start off well.

The car at sea level is very fast, but at high elevations, for example around 8,000ft, it's a bit slow to react.

It's very comfortable on a road trip, I have taken it to Banff (Canada) from California, great fun to have this car on an open road or a mountain road, you'll never want to quit driving it!

1 small piece of trim fell off. This was fixed promptly by BMW. The radio started making a subtle buzzing sound. BMW replaced the radio and 3 speakers. The problem has been corrected.

Simply one of the finest most fun to drive automobiles I have come in contact with. The 4 year 50,000 complimentary service is top notch.

This is my dad's car. When his nissan stanza broke down, he was looking for cheaper cars. But when his curiosity brought him to test drive this car, he had to buy it.

I ask him everyday to drive it, and when I finally did, I was stunned. I fell in love with it, I am looking for a same model, but 1991 or 1992. It is fast, has many good features, has great handling, and smells good. The only thing I do not like about BMW's is they are hard to get used to, due to all the feature's. But when you get used to it, you will find out why they call it the ultimate driving machine.
