It didn't. I think I bought it 3 times with all the repairs. I couldn't just give it away to Carmax though.

04 BMW 330 - Great handling car and never any problems of any kind. Since we are retired, we have make do with one car only. My wife hated the Bimmer! She was always complaining that no matter what kind of curve, I had to take the car too fast through the turn and she had to hang on for dear life! She kept complaining so much about her rear going the opposite way of her head, we decided to turn in the F1 driver's license and get a sedate car...thus, the 07 GS350.

I had a 2006 s2000, by far the best handling car that i have owned. car was a lot of fun but it was time to move on to a bigger car. I miss it a lot. I will get another one in the future. here are a few pics.

when I ever I see a BMW guy jump to Lexus its because they got screwed on the repairs on the BMW. I did the same thing after owning a problematic and aging G35 sedan ( that had been beaten to an inch of its life). I loved the car but think I did make some excuses for the car because I loved her so much. In the end my Lexus is more reliable and less problematic but not the totally problem free vehicle I thought it would be. In the end what owning a Lexus has taught me was that even the most reliable cars will still have issues. I was previously aware of this but still expected more from Lexus I guess. I guess the ladies are right to ignore stupid rattles, squeaks, and noises and just shut up and drive the car

It looks like that car is taking a soft dump in the engine compartment. It's disturbing me!
