this is comming from bmw diehard fan. dont get me wrong i love my IS its just that relibility is extreamly important to me right now. Quality control for US bmw units is some how complitely different form units sold in europe. between all my friends in europe they own almost full line up and none of them have/had problems like bmw owners have here.
huh? why would they redesign a redesign?

It was just a minor facelift for the front due to negative customer feedback.
Changes mainly in the front and the back.

I always like the Audi look, but If I wanted an Audi I would buy one..
It seems BMW got desperate and loss their originality..

I hope the NEW GS will blow them out of the water..
